I was using a scapy example and it said:

ERROR: Error during evaluation of config file [None]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/scapy.py", line 12183, in read_config_file
    execfile(configfile)
TypeError: execfile() argument 1 must be string, not None
Traceback (most recent call last):

I found this: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.security.scapy.general/1792

So you need to: "touch $HOME/.scapy_startup.py" or it won't work.
Should be included in the ebuild!

Eh... `touch $HOME/.scapy_startup.py` certainly can't be included in the ebuild...

Thank you for report, Craig. This bug is fixed in scapy-1.1.1-r1. FIXED.
