I would reassemble the TCP packets into data streams and then handle
them to an HTTP or MIME parser. For the first part, have you tried
a google search? Like this:

  https://www.google.com.au/search?q=reassemble+pcap+files+into+tcp+streams

Looks promising, particularly the "streams" and "tcpreplay" stuff.
Or even search the Python Package Index for "pcap", even indirectly via google:

  https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pypi+pcap&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-beta&channel=fflb

Then just handle the data streams to a normal Python MIME parser
to figure out what's in them.
