  Description     : Python implementation of TAC for controlling Qualcomm debug boards

Python implementation of Test Automation Controller (TAC/Alpaca) for
controlling Qualcomm debug boards. It uses config files and PSOC
firmware from the original TAC (Alpaca) system.

Bughopper boards (V1 and V2) work out of the box. They are
self-describing and need no config files.

All other debug boards (FTDI, PSOC) require configuration files that are
NOT shipped with pytactl. The easiest way to obtain them is the
installconfigs subcommand, which downloads every .tcnf file and
devicelist.json from the qcom-test-automation-controller project

I plan to co-maintain this package under the Debian Python team. It is
quite useful to communicate with BugHopper devices for Arduino to get
serial port I/O, reset and flash capabilities.
