SBP Bindings for Python
==============================================

Python client for Swift Binary Protocol (SBP). SBP is a fast, simple,
and minimal binary protocol for communicating with Swift devices. It
is the native binary protocol used by the Piksi GPS receiver to
transmit solutions, observations, status and debugging messages, as
well as receive messages from the host operating system, such as
differential corrections and the almanac.

Please see the message `docs`_ for a full description of the packet
structure and the message types.
