I'd like to replace our ping/ARP code which does IP address resolution with nmap calls.
We build an executable file for device testing using Python 3.7 with Pyinstaller to distribute to multiple (20 - 30) PCs running Windows 10 in several geographies.
BUT, from what I understand, we will need to have the nmap windows library code installed on each PC: the python-pip package is only the interface to manipulation interfaces, and does not contain the actual nmap library code. I discovered this during initial investigation on my test PC.
Am I correct on this? If so, is there an additional python package I could install and build into the exe file that would handle the nmap library calls? Or some other work-around or suggestion?
Hope this makes sense, thanks!
