Where to find scapy Documentation?
Posted by xkriscendox@reddit | Python | View on Reddit | 12 comments
Im having trouble finding some scapy documentation for the python module. I see a lot of examples and docs of use in linux terminal, but very little for python scripting. I know theres the built in help() function but its kind of hard to wrap my head around it. Mayby im being lazy there. Any additional resources would be appreciated 🙌

Hi there, from the /r/Python mods.
We have removed this post as it is not suited to the /r/Python subreddit proper, however it should be very appropriate for our sister subreddit /r/LearnPython or for the r/Python discord: https://discord.gg/python.
The reason for the removal is that /r/Python is dedicated to discussion of Python news, projects, uses and debates. It is not designed to act as Q&A or FAQ board. The regular community is not a fan of "how do I..." questions, so you will not get the best responses over here.
On /r/LearnPython the community and the r/Python discord are actively expecting questions and are looking to help. You can expect far more understanding, encouraging and insightful responses over there. No matter what level of question you have, if you are looking for help with Python, you should get good answers. Make sure to check out the rules for both places.
Warm regards, and best of luck with your Pythoneering!

You are lazy

On the contrary, OP typed all that up instead of googling. Works hard, doesn’t work smart.

I did google lol but i cant find anything that shows me proper syntax and stuff for python just how to use it in the linux terminal. So ide figure i be resourceful first before actually putting hours in to understand and experiment with the code.

If you read this subs “About” you also would’ve learned that questions like this belong on r/learnpython

i just wish it’d have documentation like the date and time library does. Instead i only can find few examples of actual code inside a python script, but NOTHING to explain what functions there inside it and what does what and how to properly syntax it. So actually Ide figure it’d save me time if i could find something like that BEFORE I use the help() function and read and experiment for hours just to learn how scapy works.

Review the code

like the source code?

Yep, I think it has comments and you can see and learn a lot from there
Other option is to search for projects in GitHub that use the library and check that code
