I've been using the pylibpcap extension module for several
years, but I can't get it to build under 2.4:
$ python setup.py build
/usr/lib/python2.4/distutils/dist.py:222: UserWarning: 'licence'
distribution option is deprecated; use 'license'
warnings.warn(msg)
running build
running build_ext

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've never used SWIG, so I don't have any idea what's going on,
but it got a little bit further:
