Jack Nagel b58404ff56 wireshark: disable experimental python support
Currently building wireshark with Python support (the default) may
result in runtime errors like

  dlsym(0x8fe467fc, py_create_dissector_handle): symbol not found

Since Python support is currently "experimental", let's just turn it
off. Patches with the right settings to re-enable it are certainly
welcome.

If your list of available capture interfaces is empty
(default OS X behavior), try the following commands:
wget https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3373 -O ChmodBPF.tar.gz
tar zxvf ChmodBPF.tar.gz
open ChmodBPF/Install\\ ChmodBPF.app
This adds a launch daemon that changes the permissions of your BPF
devices so that all users in the 'admin' group - all users with
'Allow user to administer this computer' turned on - have both read
and write access to those devices.
See bug report:
