Pytnon-FTN: API and tools for Fidonet and other FTN networks
============================================================

Python-FTN is a set of Python modules that provide the following
capabilities:

- Generating FTN messages.
- Editing message data.
- Displaying and querying message data.
- Packing/unpacking FTN mail packets.
- Editing packet data.
- Displaying and querying packet data.
- Parsing and querying FTN nodelists.
- Making routing decsisions from nodelist data.

The python-ftn API makes it easy to develop new tools that interact
with FTN format data.

Python-ftn supports FTS-0001 "on disk" and "packed" messages (and can
convert between them), and supports both FTS-0001 ("type 2") and
FSC-0048 ("type 2+") packets.

Examples
========

Change the destination of an outbound packet::

 $ ftn-editpkt --dest 1:322/761 00000001.pkt

Change the sender name in a message::

 $ ftn-editmsg --from 'A Different Person' 1.msg

Create and pack a message for delivery::

 $ echo "My body text" |
 ftn-makemsg \
   --from 'Lars Kellogg-Stedman' \
 --to 'Someone Else' \
 --orig 1:322/761 \
 --dest 99:99/99 \
 --subject "This is a test" \
 --flag killSent --flag private |
 ftn-pack -d 1:322/759 --out 014202f7.out

Examine the generated packet::

 $ ftn-scanpkt -m 014202f7.out
