Did you check the dependencies for scapy?
I am not that good in python but it looks to me that some other libraries or alike are missing.

Did a quick google search and came up with this. Maybe it helps.

scapy in general launches properly functions properly when invoked in the terminal

bt scapy-2.0.0.10 # scapy.py
/usr/local/sbin/scapy.py:3200: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
/usr/local/sbin/scapy.py:3202: Warning: 'with' will become a reserved keyword in Python 2.6
Welcome to Scapy (1.2.0.2)
>>> ls()

but its just that in backtrack 3 python interpreter environment is unable to import scapy as a module i guess the module is not being recognised by python.

i wrote a small tool in python which is functioning properly in Ubuntu but it just dosent seem to be functioning in backtrack when run under backtrack it returns a error saying the function "sendp" is not recognized

Copy scapy.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

Copy scapy.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

copied scapy.py from /usr/bin/scapy.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages

still dosent work i'm unable to understand what is going wrong

Does the above step work for u level???

You might want to check your environment variables. You could also throw scapy.py in the same directory as whatever executable you are trying to run.
