But there is a way with tethereal: simply stop the program. You should be able to pipe the tethereal output to a file and, based on the size or contents of the file, stop tethereal from another process. I know you can do this in Perl; it seems likely you can do it in Python.
On Windows? In UNIX, you can cleanly stop tethereal by sending it SIGTERM, but that mechanism isn't available in Windows - and the person who asked the question is running on Windows.
