Fixie is a Python FIX parsing library and collection of end-user tools for working with FIX data.
Standalone executable tools are located in the Fixie.Tools module.
Converts FIX to JSON, line by line. Accepts input from stdin, or a single file
argument (which may be a gzip archive with a file name ending in .gz).
Used to generate new content for Fixie/Tags.py based on a CSV file (run
infrequently).
Pretty prints a set of line-delimited FIX messages, e.g. from a log file (which may be a gzip archive). For easier human consumption, enumerations display an explanation after their value, and the length of the raw FIX message is limited.
