 You can create a `SPARTNReader` object by calling the constructor with an active stream object. 
 The stream object can be any data stream which supports a `read(n) -> bytes` method (e.g. File or Serial, with

+or without a buffer wrapper). `pyspartn` implements an internal `SocketWrapper` class to allow sockets to be read in the same way as other streams.
 
 Individual SPARTN messages can then be read using the `SPARTNReader.read()` function, which returns both the raw binary data (as bytes) and the parsed data (as a `SPARTNMessage`, via the `parse()` method). The function is thread-safe in so far as the incoming data stream object is thread-safe. `SPARTNReader` also implements an iterator. See examples below.
