Re: Wireshark 1.3.1 and python dissector

[Sébastien Tandel <sebastien.tandel () gmail com>]

Hi Joni,


python dissectors is something highly experimental and not complete 'til
now. I made only one commit to the tree ;)

The tests I made were only with tshark and on Linux. It appears that it is
not working for windows nor with wireshark. I'm not sure why in the case of
wireshark. I thought that if working with tshark, it should work for
wireshark too but it seems that it needs some additional stuffs.

I will have some time these next weeks to work on this and hope to fix and
extend a bit this first draft.


Regards,
Sebastien Tandel
