There's no way, from outside Ethereal, to force it to stop capturing packets. The only way to start it would be to use whatever mechanisms in Python, if any, can start a process running with a particular program; it could be run with the "-k" flag, and other flags such as "-i" to specify the interface on which to capture packets.
