It is. All the test suite is python3 based and it's working. That's why I
expected the extcap to work.

It looks like the extcap is not the only test script using python3

$ git grep python test/
Binary file test/captures/packet-h2-14_headers.pcapng matches
test/sampleif.py:#!/usr/bin/env python3
test/suite_dissectors/dissectorstest.py:#!/usr/bin/env python3
test/suite_dissectors/group_asterix.py:#!/usr/bin/env python3
test/test.py:#!/usr/bin/env python3
test/util_dump_dhcp_pcap.py:#!/usr/bin/env python3

travis is using tshark, not wireshark.

I do not have any kind of control over the travis host, and I don't have a
real mac to use. Can you run the regression test suite for me (just
suite_clopts actually) and tell me if it fails?
