Team Review: pcapy-ng 2.0.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionPython module for the pcap packet capture library

This is a Python extension module that lets Python programs use the libpcap packet-capture library. It is a maintained replacement for Pcapy.

It keeps the classic Pcapy API and adds one thing: loop_filtered, a capture loop that does a first pass of filtering in C and only hands Python the packets you actually want.

This package installs the library for Python 3.
