Hi,

same as for binpac, could be useful for the ones who already wrote dissectors with it. 

So, it might be interesting to have both of them available for wireshark. I don't know tough what sort of limits (or not) pyconstruct could have.
Even though pyConstruct might not apply to all that binpac does, as an "internal DSL" pyConstruct might be quicker to implement with Python?  the easiest way to judge its limits might be to read their supplied sample protocols (in addition to file formats) in:
