Hi all,

Is there a python binding for accessing the ethereal library available?
I'd like to do packet capture and analyse the results using facilities

No.

Even the currently available libethereal is only available in C and is considered for internal Ethereal use only (e.g. it will change API/ABI without further notice). Several reasons for this, mainly lack of manpower.
