protolog

Tools to analyse and log data from smart metering devices

We have been copy-pasting these simple server classes onto servers when we have had the need to analyse protocol data. It was time to gather them in a git reop and make it a bit nicer to manage.

We use Pythons super simple socketserver module. The servers are for testing purpose only. We use the threading mixin to be able to process several requests at the same time.
