ip.src and ip.dst are stored as four raw bytes, not as printable strings.

Do the following:
import socket
...
print socket.inet_ntoa( ip.src )

You can convert the rawbyte character to int with built-in function ord,

ie:

>>> '.'.join([str(ord(c)) for c in ip.src])

Outputs something like: '10.1.0.233'

Here is a patch for ip.py that shows the ip in readable form when you use
repr().
This issue has been brought up before.
