A simple pcap library for Python

Simple PCAP file parser

Based on this and this PCAP Capture File Format description.

About

Simple PCAP was created to allow the user to focus as much as possible on processing packets stored in a pcap file without studying its structure. This is a very simple tool, it does not provide additional tools for analyzing packages. The library tries to provide the safest possible manipulation of pcap files.
