Have an issue when installing in osx

[shumtravi]

I'm just trying to install netzob in Sierra 10.12.6 by

$ pip3 install netzob

And get this:

Collecting arpreq==0.3.1 (from netzob)

Unfortunately, this issue seems related to one of our dependency : arpreq.
Did you try to contact the owners of this project to see if they already encountered this issue on mac os ?

Also of course having this issue. Gave up and tossed it in a VM.

Unfortunately the arpreq library is not working on macosx.
Someone reported in their issues to use the getmac package instead (https://pypi.org/project/getmac/)
It is also a pure python implementation. It could be nice to replace the arpreq package by getmac. It will work on all platform and will remove the c++ build part of your project if there is no other libs needing a c++ build.
