You can intercept packets matching a filter expression, inspect or modify their headers and payloads, drop them, or re-inject them. The package includes bundled WinDivert 2.2+ binaries so you don't have to install the driver separately.\n\nIt supports both synchronous and asynchronous workflows via asyncio, modern Python pattern matching (PEP 634), and advanced WinDivert features like FLOW, SOCKET, and REFLECT layers. Common use cases include building firewalls, monitoring or modifying network traffic, redacting sensitive payloads, and analyzing TCP/IP behavior. Requires Windows 11 64-bit, Python 3.10+, and administrator privileges.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are on Windows 11 64-bit and need low-level network packet control from Python. The package is actively maintained, has no runtime dependencies, includes bundled binaries for easy setup, and supports modern Python versions. The copyleft license (LGPL/GPL) is a hard blocker for proprietary closed-source applications unless you can relicense. No known security vulnerabilities."},"id":"pydivert","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydivert","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pydivert.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pydivert/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-15","license_spdx":"LGPL-3.0-or-later OR GPL-2.0-or-later","license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"pydivert","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python binding to windivert driver"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":291298,"position":7971,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.1.3"}
