python : Dropping Network Packet

[trigunmasteree]

I was wondering if we can drop network packet by python. I really have no clue about how to do it. One of my friend suggested me to learn about how iptables works, but I don't think it'll worth.

Last time I tried python, and succeeded in capturing network packet with pycap. This was extremely easy, compared to libpcap (gcc). Now I wonder if we can drop the packet that has been read with the same way, or is there any other way?

Please tell me if you know how to do it .


Thanks b4

Looks like this may work.

freshmeat.net: Project details for python-iptables

or maybe this:
About a python module (iptables)

But they look like they assume a knowledge of iptables...

Er, it seems I still have to learn iptables after all.
But thanks a lot, I'll try it.
