Pcapy is a lightweight pcap library wrapper for Python. It allows you to read and handle low-level network packets from Python, both on Windows and UNIX-like platforms (Linux, macOS). Live captures and PCAP files are supported. BPF filters can be applied to get the traffic of interest only.
It works as a native module that can be plugged into the CPython virtual machine. Code is C and links against the Python SDK. In Windows platforms, WinPcap is required.
It has been released under a variation of the Apache Software License, and it’s currently maintained by Core Security. You can get more information and the source code here: https://github.com/helpsystems/pcapy
