It's python2.
It's not available from its author, only from our mirror of the distfile
on ftp.openbsd.
It parses packets and hasn't been updated.

If folks *use* it, I'm ok with keeping it. However, it was imported more
than 11 years ago and hasn't been updated. It's homepage advises others to
use a different project. The source file isn't available.

Honestly, the more I investigate this, the *less* I'd like it to stay.
