These last weeks, I spent some time to integrate python into wireshark and made the first commit today in the wireshark trunk. This way, now, it is possible to write a dissector for wireshark in python. see http://wiki.wireshark.org/Python for documentation.

So is this

Wireshark with an embedded version of the Python interpreter, so that all the Wireshark GUI is available

or

a libwireshark module to be loaded into a stand-alone Python interpreter?

Is it possible to write a tap in Python?
