Hi Mason ,

Please make sure you use Python version 2.7.x not v3.x.

"Version 3.4 or newer" mentioned in the documentation is for pyserial not python.

I have the same problem. Using python 3.6.4 via Anaconda.

If you change your import lines to look like the following, you'll get around the issue:

import os
import sys
import argparse
import re
import time
import struct
import serial
import logging
sys.path.append('SnifferAPI')
from SnifferAPI import Sniffer, myVersion, Logger, UART

From here, I'm having problems with print statements, seems like the documentation is incorrect when it specifies we can use python 3.4 or newer -- all the code expects python 2 style print syntax.

I have the same problem, it appears as a python import problem

It appears that your python version is incorrect, or you have not placed all the files and folders correctly in the Wireshark extcap folder. Please follow the installation steps and the trouble shooting steps in the nRF Sniffer user guide.

Edit:

The user guide explicity mentions that you use python v2.7.x , see the required software section in the user guide.

If you are seeing import issues you need to verify that the python 2.7.x is in the path so typing "python --version" will invoke the python 2.7 version.

or edit the nrf_sniffer.bat (for windows users only) to call the 2.7.x version of python.

If you are mixing python 3 and python 2 in your PC you will have import issues. Point the sniffer python script only at python 2.7.x

Additionally ensure that you have the pyserial installed for python 2.7.x.

C:>c:\Python27\Scripts\pip list
pyserial (3.1.1)
