Library for decoding maritime Automatic Identification System messages. Forked from original POSIX-oriented version to optimize for embedded platforms as much as possible, starting with removal of all c++ <ostream> dependencies (severe code bloat).

There are two interfaces to libais, one high-level iterator based one and a low-level fast C++ only one. The iterator based interface is accessed the following way:
import ais.stream
with open("file.nmea") as f:
for msg in ais.stream.decode(f):
print msg
To use the low-level C++ interface directly, you need to handle multi-line messages and padding yourself:
import ais
ais.decode('15PIIv7P00D5i9HNn2Q3G?wB0t0I', 0)
ais.decode('402u=TiuaA000r5UJ`H4`?7000S:', 0)
ais.decode('55NBjP01mtGIL@CW;SM<D60P5Ld000000000000P0`<3557l0<50@kk@K5h@00000000000', 2)
There is also support for converting parsed messages to the structure output by GPSD / gpsdecode. For full compatibility, you have to write the resulting message dictionaries to a file with json.dump() and add a newline after each message.
import ais.stream
import json
import ais.compatibility.gpsd
with open("infile.nmea") as inf:
with open("outfile.gpsd") as outf:
for msg in ais.stream.decode(f):
gpsdmsg = ais.compatibility.gpsd.mangle(msg)
json.dump(gpsdmsg, outf)
outf.write("\n")

The C++ code was switched to the Google style in November, 2012. Indenting should be by 2 spaces.
