cicflowmeter

[AnxiousBunny]

iam trying to use this implementation of CICflowmeter, in order to extract the features from a PCAP file, and generating a csv file, the main issue iam facing is, i cant call the cicflowmeter command since its not in the PATH variable, and i cant find the location of the script, altho i specified it in pip section in build-gradle module.
This is the code iam trying to use for the task.

import os

from os.path import dirname, join
def main():
	
	path = join(dirname(__file__),"../../../dumps/dump.pcap")
	path = join(dirname(__file__),"../../../lib")
	sourcepath = path + "dump.csv"
	return os.system("cicflowmeter -f " + path + " -c " + sourcepath)

os.system returns a 32512, which i think it means, command not found, thank you for your great help

You won't be able to launch it as a separate script, because Chaquopy doesn't come with a Python executable. Instead, find out what function the script uses, and call it directly. You can find this in the entry_points / console_scripts section of the setup.py file here.

Thank You for your response, i edited the the sniffer script to take the parameters from my python code, and it seems to work, but iam running into a dependency issue, that i don't seem to know how to fix, every time i run the code this error shows up, and i have no idea how to provide the libpcap library
