This paper introduces gnss lib py as a modular Python tool for parsing, analyzing, and visualizing Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) data. gnss lib py provides an intuitive and modular framework allowing users to quickly prototype, implement, and visualize the results of GNSS algorithms. gnss lib py is modular in the sense that multiple types of algorithms can be easily exchanged for each other and applied on multiple data sources with minimal modification. gnss lib py is extendable as its functionality is documented and tested, which facilitates user-specific extensions of existing implementations. This paper describes the design considerations behind the creation of the gnss lib py Python library, the existing functionality of the library, and example usages of the library. gnss lib py is open-source on GitHub: github.com/stanford-navlab/gnss lib py.
