-Synopsis
---------
 Slocum ocean gliders are autonomous underwater vehicles, used for
 making oceanographic measurements. The data that these devices and
 their sensors collect, are stored in binary data files. The python
 module *dbdreader* provides the utilities to extract the data from the
 binary files, so that they can be further analysed.

 standard method to install python code. Note that this method requires
 an C-extension to be build. (The actual reading from files is done in
