Does anyone know of Python bindings for the pcapio.[ch] code in
Wireshark source root?

I am looking for Python wrappers for writing pcap files and I havent
been able to find a library that does it or does it cleanly.

PS: I ask because I intend to use pcapio.c to create a wrapper.
Why don't you use libpcap to create the wrapper, instead? (I.e., if you don't like the libpcap wrappers for Python that are out there, why not just do a better one?) 


PS2: I've looked at both pcap, pylibpcap and pcapy modules for this
functionality.
pylibpcap and pcapy both appear to support writing pcap files, so presumably, if you haven't been able to find a library that does that or does it cleanly, neither of them do it cleanly. What's unclean about how they do it?
