AX.25 modules for python?

[Andy]

I am considering writing some Linux based client applications for amateur
radio in python as a learning exercise however, I have not been able to
find ax.25 python modules. Can anyone point me to work that has already
been done in this area? The only option I have found so far is to use SWIG
and build my own wrappers for the ax.25 modules, but that seems beyond my
current level of expertise

I have had success with python server applications using ax25d, stdin, and
stdout, but examples of python ax.25 server applications would also be
welcomed.

Thanks in Advance

I don't believe there are any ax.25 modules. too small a community if
you're looking for amateur radio operators who are also python
programmers. I know of 2. ;-)

I have a friend who is working on some wavelet image compression and
data transmission schemas. He's really really good at the lower levels
but human factors are best described as not his forte.

Eric,

I fear that you are correct about the size of the community of interest. As
my python knowledge matures I may take a stab at creating an ax.25 module
in the hope that others with more skill will take pity on me and help out.
