Introduction

Python implementation of the ANT, ANT+, and ANT-FS protocols. For more
information about ANT, see http://www.thisisant.com/.

Can be used to communicate with ANT nodes using an ANT stick (USB).
Can be used to communicate with ANT nodes using an ANT stick (USB).

This project came to be when I tried to download data for analysis from my
ANT+/ANT-FS enabled running watch under GNU/Linux. This eventually lead me to
attempting to port ANT_LIB and ANT_DLL (by Dynastream) to Linux. However, I
didn't quite like the library, the protocol is well documented and trivial to
implement, and I was going to have to write a ctypes-based wrapper afterwards
since I was only going to use the library from Python. Thus, I decided to
write a pure Python implementation.

Documentation will be a bit scarse for the time being, but everything public
should have at least a docstring by the time I make the first stable release.
