  Description     : Library for decoding maritime Automatic Identification System messages

"The decoding happens in C++ and I've written a C++ wrapper for python
 that given a message NMEA payload, is able to return a dictionary back
 to python. I expect this to be about 50x faster than my noaadata
 code."

"After 2 years, I've finally done a point release of libais. I also
 put it into pypi."

This library has become useful - it is fast and is complete enough and
robust enough to be useful to those with a need to decode AIS data to
track ships and ship status messages.
