invalid thread id about pyshark

[KimiNewt]

Does this happen each time or just occasionally?

[jescoupe]

Each time.

This doesn't happen to me on Windows or Ubuntu. I'm assuming you're on OSX?
It's obviously something wrong with the recipe of InterruptibleThread. I'll try checking it out.

[jescoupe]

Yep, OS X - thanks!

I have the same problem on Fedora 19 with Python 2.7.5.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pyshark/capture/live_capture.py", line 44, in sniff
    sniff_thread.raise_exc(StopIteration)

Sorry for the incredibly long delay, but I changed the implementation a tad-- it still works properly on my systems and I think it may solve it for yours. Can you check?

In the meanwhile I have upgrade my fedora to fedora 20 and I'm not able to reproduce the error :S I got this traceback that is probable due to other error...

I hope that could be useful...

I'm assuming you're running the latest revision? Did you try rerunning setup.py install?

I'm getting the same error after the update:

[KimiNewt]

Can you try it again after jeffito's fix?

[KimiNewt]

Since we no longer use threads, I doubt this occurs anymore.
