Moved to GitHub

I have migrated PySTDF to GitHub for better collaboration and to consolidate my open source portfolio.

https://github.com/cmars/pystdf

You may find a more recent version there, as it is much easier to accept contributions through Github.

PySTDF is a Python module that makes it easy to work with STDF (Teradyne's Standard Test Data Format). STDF is a commonly used file format in semiconductor test -- automated test equipment (ATE) from such vendors as Teradyne, Verigy, LTX, Credence, and others support this format.

PySTDF provides event-based stream parsing of STDF version 4, along with indexers that can help you rearrange the data into a more useful tabular form, as well as generate missing summary records or new types of derivative records.

The parser architecture is very flexible and can easily be extended to support STDF version 3 as well as custom record types.

Potential applications of PySTDF include:

Debugging a vendor's STDF implementation
Straight conversion to ASCII-readable form
Repairing STDF files
Developing an application that leverages STDF

Conversion to tabular form for statistical analysis tools
Loading data into a relational database
