RTL_FM_Python: An API and web interface for controlling RTL_FM

Th0ma5w has released his rtl_fm_python program which is a modification of rtl_fm. The added feature is an API and web interface which allows interaction with a running instance of rtl_fm. The API and web interface allows you to change the frequency, modulation and gain settings while rtl_fm is running. This may be useful for remote devices running rtl_fm such as a Raspberry Pi.

This is great. Prior to cheap SDR, I was using hamlib to control a CIV/CAT remotely tunable radio. I have been wondering/hoping hamlib support to control a RTL dongle could be extended.

Great, just what I was looking for!!

This will be handy to use the dongle as a remote tuner on a raspberry.
