Description: The packet module is a front-end to the struct module.  It allows the
        user to define a packet format, and to create a Python class to represent
        those packets with named attributes for each packet field::
        
            # demo: make an IP packet packer/unpacker
        
            # IP Prototype
            ipp = Prototype()
            ipp.add_uint8('vhl')
            ipp.add_uint8('tos')
            ipp.add_uint16('len')
            ipp.add_uint16('id')
            ipp.add_uint16('off')
            ipp.add_uint8('ttl')
            ipp.add_uint8('p')
            ipp.add_uint16('sum')
            ipp.add_uint32('src')
            ipp.add_uint32('dst')
            IP = ipp.klass('IP', NETWORK)
            del ipp
        
            # ....
        
            # create an IP packet instance from bytes
            packet = IP(bytes)
        
            # create an empty packet
            packet = IP()
        
            # access fields
            print(packet.len)
        
            # pack fields into bytes
            bytes = packet.pack()
