PDUDecoder - A Python Class for GSM 7-bit PDU Decoding

Overview

The PDUDecoder class provides a simple yet effective way to decode GSM 7-bit PDU (Protocol Data Unit) encoded text in Python. It supports both the standard GSM character set and the extended character set.

Features

• Decoding of GSM 7-bit PDU: Converts PDU encoded text into a human-readable string.
• GSM and Extended Character Sets: Includes a comprehensive list of characters supported in the GSM and extended GSM character sets.

Installation

This class does not require any external dependencies. You can simply copy the PDUDecoder class into your Python project.

Usage

Example

Here's a basic example of how to use the PDUDecoder class:

# Import the class
from pdu_decoder import PDUDecoder

# Example PDU encoded text (as a string of hex characters)
encoded_text = "E8329BFD4697D9EC37"

# Decode the PDU encoded text
decoded_text = PDUDecoder.pdu_to_string(encoded_text)

# Print the decoded text
print("Decoded text:", decoded_text)

Decoding Functionality

To decode a string of PDU encoded text, use the pdu_to_string static method. This method takes a string of hex characters representing the PDU encoded text and returns the decoded string.
