trex_stl_lib pros and cons

• Pros
  • OO
  • Working and fully functional
  • Implements all asynch coomands
• Cons
  • Java style
  • Using rc instead of try/exception
  • Proprietery logger
  • Not python 2, tested on Python 3.6 and later
  • Way too many decorators up to the point where debug is not fluent.
  • If we can get rid of asynch, will be better
