I noticed the object subprocess.Popen might be best suited to this but it doesnt seem to work right. The flag combination I provided above will cause tethereal to print each packet it recieves to stdout and then hopefully flush the stream. I want to "pipe" this output to a python script which will block read on that process stdout until a packet is recieved and then perform some processing on that packet.
I realize that 3rd party modules are available like pcapy but there is added value in using tethereal that just isnt worth discussing here.
Hope this makes sense
