I'm getting an error when I try to run the scapy install:

$ brew install scapy
==> Downloading http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/scapy-2.1.0.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/scapy-2.1.0.tar.gz
==> /usr/local/bin/python setup.py install
Error: Empty installation

EDIT: Resolution here https://github.com/samueljohn/homebrew-python/blob/master/scapy.rb

Works a treat on OS X Mavericks - thanks :-)

Installing scapy works fine - without error - but after install I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/scapy", line 23, in
from scapy.main import interact
ImportError: No module named scapy.main

OS X Mavericks here - Not sure if it's related to the formula somehow?

I have the same issue as xoration above. (also on OSX 10.9)

Facing the same issue as xoration on Mavericks. Has anybody figured out the solution?

I think one should add scapy's path to PYTHONPATH to avoid ImportError, also the scapy homepage is down now (503 unavailable) at 2014.4.3 23:00 GMT+8

I had the same errors as xoration and vivekagr, but that was before I looked at the output of brew install scapy, which at the end gave me:

==> Caveats
Python modules have been installed and Homebrew's site-packages is not
in your Python sys.path, so you will not be able to import the modules
this formula installed. If you plan to develop with these modules,
please run:
  mkdir -p /Users/bsterne/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages
  echo 'import site; site.addsitedir("/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages")' >> /Users/bsterne/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/homebrew.pth

Running those two commands resolved the issue for me. Make sure you account for your own home directory and system Python site-packages directory.
