Install libdnet Python wrapper for ScaPy

How to install the Python (3) wrapper for libdnet on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS? I need is as it is a pre-requisite to ScaPy, however the Python 3.x wrapper does not seem to exist yet.

    You say you only need libdnet to use ScaPy.

    But this is a false assumption. ScaPy only requires this library (or wrappers for it) when you are not on a Linux system.

    You can read that on their site's installation page:

    • (For non-Linux platforms): Install libpcap and libdnet and their Python wrappers.

    • Scapy can run natively on Linux. I does not require libdnet and libpcap.

    So unless you come up with another use case, there's no need for a Python 3 wrapper to libdnet.
