MTPPy2.0

MTPPy2.0 is a redesign and evolution of the famous MTPPy1.0 repository. The objectives of this project are to provide

1. a playground that helps to getting started with the MTP, and
2. a reference implementation for the MTP 2.0 which allows discussions on the advancement of the specification based on accessible and sharable evidence and experience.

Towards that end MTPPy2.0 implements several parts of the PNO MTP 2.0 specification, namely Part 1 (Definitions), Part 3 (Data Object Library), Part 4 (Services), and an initial static AlarmSet.Base subset of Part 6 (Alarms and Events). See the docs for further details.
