Found this out a while ago, but figure it might be useful to users of PCS... (since I couldn't find this information anywhere else)

   sudo python setup.py install

   
   
4. Extract PCS. Then run

   sudo python setup.py install

   
   
5. Don't bother with the MacPort of pylibpcap. Just download it from SF.net, and run

   sudo python setup.py install

   import pcs
