APRS lib for Python
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

|Build Status| |Coverage Status|

A tiny library for dealing with APRS. It can be used to connect and listen to the aprs-is feed as well as parse packets.
The following packet formats are supported:

-  normal/compressed position reports
-  mic-e
-  messages (inc. telemetry, bulletins, etc)
-  base91 comment telemetry

Install
-----------

You can grab the latest release from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aprslib or via ``pip``

.. code:: bash

    pip install aprslib

Examples
-----------

Parsing
^^^^^^^

.. code:: python

    import aprslib
    packet = aprslib.parse("M0XER-4>APRS64,TF3RPF,WIDE2*,qAR,TF3SUT-2:!/.(M4I^C,O `DXa/A=040849|#B>@\"v90!+|")

.. code:: python

APRS-IS
^^^^^^^

.. code:: python

    import aprslib

    def callback(packet):
        print packet

    AIS = aprslib.IS("LZ1DEV")
    AIS.connect()
    # by default `raw` is False, then each line is ran through aprslib.parse()
    AIS.consumer(callback, raw=True)
