[Comment 1 Fernando Garrido Vaz 2005-11-17 14:12:31 UTC]

As a workaround, change the unpacked source: 
1. Open ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/pylibpcap-0.4/setup.py in a text editor 
2. Change line 28 from: 
def swig_sources(self, sources) 
 
to: 
def swig_sources(self, sources, extension=None) 
 
3.In that directory, run 
python setup.py build 
python setup.py install 
 
That is very, very ugly, but at least gets the package installed.  Apparently 
the original package is broken.  Someone more knowledgeable than me could put 
together a patch, perhaps?

Thanks for your suggestions. I have made a little patch that solves this problem:

fixed. thanks for the patch. however, i've also bumped the version to 0.5.1 which seems to be working 
better.
