Description: ========================================
        Consistent Overhead Byte Stuffing (COBS)
        ========================================
        
        Python functions for encoding and decoding COBS.
        
        -----
        Intro
        -----
        
        Functions are provided for encoding and decoding according to the basic COBS
        method.  The COBS variant "Zero Pair Elimination" (ZPE) is not implemented.
        
        A pure Python implementation and a C extension implementation are provided. If
        the C extension is not available for some reason, the pure Python version will
        be used.

        -------------------------
        Supported Python Versions
        -------------------------
        
        Python >= 2.4 and 3.x are supported, and have both a C extension and a pure
        Python implementation.
        
        Python versions < 2.4 might work, but have not been tested. Python 3.0 has
        also not been tested.
        
        
        ------------
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The cobs package is installed using ``distutils``.  If you have the tools
        installed to build a Python extension module, run the following command::
        
        python setup.py install
        
        
        ------------
        Unit Testing
        ------------
        
        Basic unit testing is in the ``test`` subdirectory. To run it::
        
        python test_cobs.py
