Using cap file does not work

I wanted to open a cap file and read the packet that is in there but scapy-python3 crashes while the original scapy with Python 2 works fine: test.cap.zip

scapy-python3:

>>> file = rdpcap("test.cap")
>>> len(file)
1
>>> file[0]
...
IndexError: list index out of range

python2 scapy:

>>> file = rdpcap("test.cap")
>>> len(file)
1
>>> file[0]
<RadioTap.....

In [1]: file = rdpcap("test.cap")
In [2]: len(file)

Hi ! Scapy from secdev (https://github.com/secdev/scapy) now does fully supports Python 3.

Feel free to have a look :)

Yes, I'm aware of that. Thank you very much for establishing python3 compatibility! Very nice.

But I also want to thank phaethon for maintaining this fork in the meantime, while the original scapy project ignored the demand for python3 for years.

However, I just want to thank everybody and don't like to get involved in this controversy. The whole story was/is sad enough.
