All the simple ip commands work fine in scapy but the send,sr,etc don't work .it gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

or

From your comment - [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

When running a Python script that uses Scapy, or just running Scapy from terminal, if you want to send packets over the wire, you need to call it with root or administrative rights.

So using the terminal - 

# Works, but won't be able to send or receive packets.
rypeck@laptop:~$ scapy
>>> 
KeyboardInterrupt
>>> 

# Will work!
rypeck@laptop:~$ sudo scapy
Welcome to Scapy (2.2.0)
>>>

Scripts you call using sudo python.
