[python-win32] Pipe output of tethereal to python

[mark mclarnon]

Anyone have any idea how to startup a program like tethereal which when run
with a '-w - -l' set of flags produces A LOT of output on stdout and pipe
this output to a python class?

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
