Pypacker incompatible with windows (AttributeError: sockets.AF_PACKET) about pypacker HOT 4 OPEN

Thanks for the hint, I rarely use windows for development so this never popped up.
SocketHndl is a very simple wrapper around the python socket for layer 2 sending/receiving. I'm not sure if you can do that with Python on Windows. This operating system is pretty restricted when it comes to RAW-socket, PACKET-socket and Data Link Layer programming. In general it is difficult to get the programs running under Windows and the available options
are pretty limited. For that reason in general 3rd party libraries are recommended if you want to do network
programming on Windows systems (and still write portable code). Best option seems to be winpcap an access via python. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the comment. My first attempt was using scapy and that works flawlessly under windows and Python 2.7. However, it's a bit slow for my use case (basically bridging several interfaces for UDP packets). As pypacker is faster I thought I give it a try ;)

Yeah scapy uses Winpcap/Npcap (https://scapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html#windows). If you want to use pypacker after all you could create the raw sockets yourself, should be ~4 extra lines of code.

Ok, thanks for the hint. I'll look into it.
