Here is my code:
import pyshark
capture = pyshark.LiveCapture(interface='en0')
capture.sniff()
Now here is the error:

I am running mac os 10.10.x with python 3.4.3
Installed pyshark with sudo pip3 install pyshark

Set for sniffing with tshark. Default to 50 seconds in this setup. interface: A string. Name of the interface to sniff on. bpf_filter: A string. The capture filter in bpf syntax 'tcp port 80'. Needs to be changed to match filter for the traffic sent.
At the bottom of the page, there is an example code for a live packet capture sniffer (pictured below). I tried to run it in pyCharm and ran into permission problems (I needed root access) so I had to run it in the terminal using the “sudo” prefix to my command. It worked!
Python wrapper for tshark, allowing python packet parsing using wireshark dissectors. Python2 deprecation – This package no longer supports Python2. If you wish to still use it in Python2, you can:
That particular exception just means that tshark crashed and doesn't say anything. Please run capture.set_debug () before running the sniff () function and post the results here.
Try Installing tshark that worked for me and I am on Ubuntu linux.
sudo apt-get install TShark
Blessings.
