An exciting new interface has been added to the main VirtualBox interface:

class IVirtualBox(Interface):

   ...

    def create_unattended_installer(self):
        """Creates a new :py:class:`IUnattended`  guest installation object.  This can be used to
        analyze an installation ISO to create and configure a new machine for it to be installed
        on.  It can also be used to (re)install an existing machine.

        return unattended of type :class:`IUnattended`
            New unattended object.

        """


class IUnattended(Interface):
    """
    The IUnattended interface represents the pipeline for preparing
    the Guest OS for fully automated install.
    
    The typical workflow is:
    
    Call :py:func:`IVirtualBox.create_unattended_installer`  to create the object
    Set :py:func:`IUnattended.iso_path`  and call :py:func:`IUnattended.detect_iso_os` 
    Create, configure and register a machine according to :py:func:`IUnattended.detected_os_type_id` 
    and the other detectedOS* attributes.
    Set :py:func:`IUnattended.machine`  to the new IMachine instance.
    Set the other IUnattended attributes as desired.
    Call :py:func:`IUnattended.prepare`  for the object to check the
    attribute values and create an internal installer instance.
    Call :py:func:`IUnattended.construct_media`  to create additional
    media files (ISO/floppy) needed.
    Call :py:func:`IUnattended.reconfigure_vm`  to reconfigure the VM
    with the installation ISO, additional media files and whatnot
    Optionally call :py:func:`IUnattended.done`  to destroy the internal
    installer and allow restarting from the second step.
    
    
    Note! Steps one is currently not implemented.
