A TEMPLATE importer for the Mantis Cyber Threat Intelligence Mgmt. Framework.

To base a new importer on this template do the following:

• Export the files, e.g. as follows:

  git archive --format tar --output <path> master

• Use a recursive search-replace to replace all occurrances of TEMPLATE_import with foo_import, where foo is the name of the thing you want to write an importer for.

• Rename the directories containing TEMPLATE accordingly.

• On top-level in the directory (e.g. in the directory where the setup.py is), do 'pip install -e .' This makes module mantis_foo_importer available to the environment; the module is always based on the code inside the directory on which you did pip install -e . (although e.g. in the case of 'python manage.py shell', you need to restart for changes in the code to carry over into the runtime whereas 'python manage.py runserver' usually notices changes in the code base and restarts automatically).

• in the django settings, include mantis_foo_importer in the list of apps. You can check whether things work by doing:

  python manage.py mantis_foo_import <path_to_some_xml_file> --settings=<your_settings_module>
  

  This calls the command defined in 'mantis_foo_importer/management/commands/mantis_foo_import.py' (see <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/custom-management-commands/> for the mechanism behind this.)
