I.e., compute the community ID for the flow to which a packet belongs, and add it to the protocol tree as a calculated field?

How about a higher-level pseudo-code description of the algorithm?  That way, it 1) doesn't require the implementer to know Python, 2) doesn't include irrelevant details such as code to use dpkt to read a pcap file, etc..
