This change is to address bug report below:
After painful investigation, the bug was traced down to this change in the framer behavior when encountering a zero length byte array from the driver and on Windows only. 2d2d1f4#diff-f7e7ceb9c48458bb44be66283049a27bL106
Basically, since there was a 1 second timeout on the pyserial driver if it didn't get data in one second it could cause the framer to start iterating nothing to the handler which caused the handler to yield none.
As a side note, I sort of think we might need to throw an exception here: https://github.com/swift-nav/libsbp/blob/master/python/sbp/client/handler.py#L72 , so that at least the handler communicates that it is no longer iterating correctly. But I'm not sure what to do there so I left as is.
