OpenSCAP is a set of open source libraries providing an easier path for integration of the SCAP line of standards. SCAP is a line of standards managed by NIST with the goal of providing a standard language for the expression of Computer Network Defense related information.

The intended scope of this project is to implement working interface wrappers for parsing and querying SCAP content including:
* Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE)
* Common Configuration Enumeration (CCE)
* Common Platform Enumeration (CPE)
* Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS)
* Extensible Configuration Checklist Description Format (XCCDF)
* Open Vulnerability and Assessment Language (OVAL)
This package contains the Python bindings for OpenSCAP.
