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. .. _`Jean-Maurice-Émile Baudot`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89mile_Baudot .. _`Baudot code`: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baudot_code .. toctree:: :caption: Contents: :maxdepth: 2 about user-guide reference Indices and tables ================== * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search`
