For the bio-feedback plugin notification framework, the system ended up being programmed in Python, resulting in some useful tools for working with serial data and XBee radios.

Why Python? No particular reason, though its use evolved because of 1) Python’s awesome cmd module, and 2) an existing and convenient serial library.

These tools resulted in the creation of an XBee shell application and a port of Rob Faludi’s XBee Processing library to Python.

These tools are available as a Google code project. Please help make them better.
