Cannot get scapy 2.4.3 http layer support to work

I am trying to craft and manipulate some http packets with scapy and python 3. I have been unable to get http layer support to work.

I am using PyCharm for package management. I am on a Kali Linux virtual box. I have installed different version of scapy through PyCharm to no avail. 

from scapy.all import *

explore(scapy.layers.http)

I would expect the results shown in the documentation (https://scapy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/layers/http.html) but alas all I get is the following error message.


  File "<ipython-input-3-1b9771949c77>", line 1, in <module>
    explore(scapy.layers.http)

AttributeError: module 'scapy.layers' has no attribute 'http'

Please help, this is driving me absolutely insane. I've also tried it with conda on my main machine and gotten the same problem.

The HTTP layer is currently not loaded by default (because it wasn't previously installed by default). You will need to load it manually via:

from scapy.layers.http import *

Or (mostly if you're using scapy's shell):

load_layers("http")

Note that scapy-http should NOT be installed. See the disclaimer https://github.com/invernizzi/scapy-http (it will soon be deprecated on PyPI too)
