It seems you've looking where I've earlier this week ;-) I'm affraid 
there's nothing for Python on Windows yet.

This one is for unices only, no Windows.

 From the Todo.txt file:

* Make this work on Windows.  I briefly struggled with compiling using 
VC7 under Win XP
   using winpcap_ and LibnetNT_.  No luck, and was getting some rather 
interesting errors
   about missing header files which appeared to be where they should be :-/.

This could be a candidate if it were available for Python 2.3.x . It's 
for Python 2.2 only now.

It doesn't look like it does. I may have introduced a subtle bug or some
more changes are needed to make it useful under win32.

If anybody wants to continue the win32 port, it's open source and you
can continue where I stopped.

Out of luck again :-(
