The api.py module is possibly mislabeled about python-cybox HOT 4 CLOSED

I think it probably makes sense to rename the module to 'common_indicator_methods' or something of the like to clarify its purpose.

from python-cybox.

If there are specific things we need soon, we can build them out in api.py (or whatever we choose to rename it to). Otherwise I would recommend waiting for the full classes, which will provide this type of functionality via their constructors. The Observables/Observable/StatefulMeasure/DefinedObject classes will do similar things as well (at least, that's my vision for them), unless they get removed from the schema entirely.

Stateful_Measure is likely on its way out, but I think I'm on board with what you're saying. Renaming it might still be a good idea. There have been a couple comments regarding "api.py" and it not providing what was expected. That being said, what was actually expected was never clearly explained. Renaming it might help out with the confusion.

from python-cybox.

Since the "API" is really the entire project, the api.py file is misnamed. As we discussed, there is still value in having a file with a few simple functions (similar to the ones currently in api.py), that users can look at and understand without needing to look at any other code or the documentation. We talked about possible names for this "new" module, and narrowed it down to

• basic.py
• simple.py
• helpers.py

which could be imported as cybox.basic, cybox.simple, or cybox.helpers, respectively.

Which one is everyone's favorite?
