aogn 0.1.2

Asynchronous APRS OGN (Open Glider Network) Client for asyncio and Python.

Introduction

Asynchronous OGN (Open Glider Network) Client for asyncio and Python that receives the planes', gliders', receivers', etc. APRS messages.

Asynchronicity allows a single listener script to execute concurrently other useful tasks like inserting records into a database, computing aggregate statistics, making web requests, etc., since there is no blocking function (e.g. listen() or run_forever()) and no callbacks.

To interpret the raw OGN messages, use a function like python-ogn-client's ogn.parser.parse.

Installation

pip install aogn

Usage

Basic example:

import asyncio

from aogn import Client


async def example() -> None:
    conn = Client(aprs_user='NO-CALL')
    while True:
        # Get the APRS packet once available:
        raw_message = await conn.packet()
        print(raw_message)

    await conn.disconnect()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(example())
