Baudot – A 5-bit Stateful Codec

Baudot is a Python library for encoding and decoding 5-bit stateful encoding.

This library is named after Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot (1845-1903), the French engineer who invented this code. The Baudot code was the first practical and widely used binary character encoding, and is an ancestor of the ASCII code we are familiar with today.
