pylibpcap-0.3.1, released 4/23/02

Thanks to the following people who supplied patches:

- PC Drew for a fix to exception handling in callbacks.
- Gustavo Carneiro for various fixes to pcap_next() and to handling of
  packet capture lengths. 
- Jon Nelson for distutil patch.


To complile, you will need the Python include files, the libpcap include files
and library, as well as the tool SWIG (see http://www.swig.org for more
information).

To build, simply run "./setup.py build".

To run the sample program 'sniff.py', specify the interface name and 
filter expression on the command line like so:

[root@linuxbox pylibpcap]# ./sniff.py eth0 tcp port 80 

The documentation is a bit lacking at this point, but the sameple program
and libpcap man page should get you going.
