Works pretty well

After moving everything to Python 2.6 (read: re-installing Pyrex, PyLint, PyLibPcap, and PCS), the packet-queueing process was extremely easy to do. Much easier than I thought it would be. Here's an example of it in action (note that the TCP data that is interpreted by PCS is whatever the equivalent of the ASCII data is).

Note that the output gets a little bit wacky as both processes fight for StdOut.
