'ImportError: No module named dumbnet' when trying to run a script that leverages scapy on OS X

So, I am trying to learn about the scapy library in Python and trying to run a script that uses scapy. The script imports the module with:

from scapy.all import *

I saw this and of course installed scapy with:

pip install scapy

Next, I got the following import error:

ImportError: No module named pcapy

So, then I decided to install pcapy with pip install pcapy. It installed fine but now I am getting the import error of:

ImportError: No module named dumbnet

I can't find a module called dumbnet. Anybody know whats going on here?

This is the first time I am messing around scapy and am using a Mac with Python 2.7 install in an activated virtual environment.

Edit1:

Here is the full error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

dumbnet is also known as libdnet. Source can be found at https://github.com/dugsong/libdnet. You can run the following commands in Terminal and scapy should work.

cd
git clone https://github.com/dugsong/libdnet.git
cd libdnet
./configure && make
cd python
python setup.py install
