Hi,

Thank you for the patch.

nmap and which need to be in inputs.

It may be shorten to: "Python wraper to Nmap"

Maybe describe why this package may be helpful. Skiming the README it's
hard to deduce ... 
e.g: "This package implements a functionality to wrap @code{nmap}
command into Python scripts,  where each command invocation is wrapped
into function providing JSON output."

Please, apply to the right package ;-)

You may keep it there to reduce the number of cross references.

License looks correct as seen in LICENSE file:

No related to the review comments, the value of the project is
questionable as Nmap provides a very powerful scripting in Lua
<https://nmap.org/book/nse-language.html>, why someone needs to reduce
tooling by wrapping it inside hacky Python script I'm doubt to say :-).

And the project admires that fact!

Waiting for v2 to cover review points.
