Packing of integers causing import error on python 2.7.x

Hello,
import of engine.py is causing this error on python 2.7.x

error Traceback (most recent call last)

41 integerstrings_big_endian = []
42 for i in integerstrings:

error: integer out of range for 'I' format code
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is because pack('<I', -1) throws and error on python 2.7

I have solved this by converting to unsigned first:

def unsigned(x):
if ( x < 0 ):
return unpack('<I',pack('<i',x))[0]
else:
return x

#Pack integers as strings for 32bit
integerstrings_little_endian = []
for i in integerstrings:
integerstrings_little_endian.append(pack('<I',unsigned(i)))
integerstrings_big_endian = []
for i in integerstrings:
integerstrings_big_endian.append(pack('>I',unsigned(i)))

Please could you consider adding this to the upstream package?

Thank you

exceptions.KeyError - 'reactor'

While Taof v0.2 worked fine for me, I get an error in v0.3 once I click the "stop" button that says:

"Error: exceptions.KeyError - 'reactor'"

It seems Taof intercepts traffic fine (the 1req, 2req,... files are there) but at the end something goes wrong when it's trying to create the .xml file.

Program is blocking when listening a non free TCP port

- Launch TAOF
- Click on "Data Retrieval" Then "Network Settings"
- As local server enter 127.0.0.1 and a busy TCP port (by example 80 if you have a webserver running on localhost).
- As remote server enter what you want.
- Validate by clicking on "OK".
- Run the session by clicking on "Start".
- An error happen : "Error setting listener ..."
- Then you cannot stop TAOF.
- If you try to click on "Stop" --> "Error: exceptions ...."
