Feature #7283
openinstalling suricatasc functionality without installing suricata entirely
Description
Hi,
We have a use case when we communicate with suricata that's in a container over the command unix socket.
We would prefer to not entirely install suricata for the functionality because it's both redundant and technically difficult for us (that's why in advance the suricata is running on a container).
If we could get the functionality as a python package (as it's anyway written in python) it would be best.

Moving to community ticket. Challenges with the Python distribution tools, and Suricata's goal to abstract away from the user that this tool is written in Python have led to us mostly abandoning the Python distribution tools, making this hard to release as a pure Python package.
It could be done, but its outside our immediate scope at this time.

Thank you for the response.
In general, is this discouraged to use suricatasc? Will this functionality be removed at some point?
