- Up to 100x times faster parsing (than pure Python, thanks to Cython). Python module is written in C and complied for C-like speeds.
- All blocks documented in documentation v1.14.0 are supported.
The basic function of this module is to parse every block inside a SBF file into a map.
Therefore, the dict built-in Python object is used to represent each block.
Returns a iterator/generator of SBF blocks.
f_obj should be a file object.
By default every type of block is generated, however most of the time only certain types
of blocks are needed. This can be accomplished by providing a set of block names to
the blocknames parameter.
Print the block name and block content:
import sbf_parser
with open('./dummy.sbf') as sbf_fobj:
for blockName, block in sbf_parser.load(sbf_fobj):
print(blockName)
print(block)Print the azimuth & elevation for each visible satellite using the SatVisibility blocks:
import sbf_parser
with open('./dummy.sbf') as sbf_fobj:
for blockName, block in sbf_parser.load(sbf_fobj, blocknames={'SatVisibility'}):
for satInfo in block['SatInfo']:
print(satInfo['SVID'], satInfo['Azimuth'], satInfo['Elevation'])
