+#Some try-outs with Python and network adaptor low-level communiation
+
+##Installation / Preconditions
+Tested with windows10
+
+1.	Install python (windows automatically launches the installer if you type „python“ into the search field of the task bar)
+2.	Wireshark is already installed, this includes the pcap driver, which is necessary for low-level-network-interaction
+
+Attention: There are (at least) three different python-libs available for pcap:
+-	Libpcap
+-	Pylibpcap (But: only Python2)
+-	Pypcap (recommented on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63941109/pcap-open-live-issue)
+-	Pcap-ct (https://pypi.org/project/pcap-ct/)
+
+python -m pip install --upgrade pcap-ct
+This is fighting against the Libpcap-installation, so we need to deinstall the second:
+python -m pip uninstall libpcap
+Then again install pcap-ct, and finally add in the libpcap\_platform\__init__py the missing is_osx     = False.
+
+Now, in the IDLE shall 3.10.6, the import works:
+import pcap
+sniffer = pcap.pcap(name=None, promisc=True, immediate=True, timeout_ms=50)
+addr = lambda pkt, offset: '.'.join(str(pkt[i]) for i in range(offset, offset + 4))
+for ts, pkt in sniffer:
+     print('%d\tSRC %-16s\tDST %-16s' % (ts, addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 12), addr(pkt, sniffer.dloff + 16)))
+
