## What it is
A Python library wrapping the official DJI Tello and Tello EDU SDKs, implementing all Tello commands including video streaming, state packet parsing, and multi-drone swarm control. It targets Python 3.6+ and ships with examples for photography, recording, keyboard/pygame control, and mission pad navigation.

## Use cases
- control a DJI Tello drone from Python
- stream and record video from a Tello drone
- fly a swarm of multiple Tello drones
- take pictures with a Tello drone programmatically
- build a keyboard or pygame-based manual drone controller
- do mission pad detection and navigation with Tello EDU

## When to choose
- you want to program a DJI Tello or Tello EDU drone in Python
- you need video streaming or state telemetry from a Tello
- you want to coordinate multiple Tellos as a swarm

## When to avoid
- you use a drone other than the DJI Tello
- you need a GUI ground-control station rather than a Python API
- you require mission pad features on a non-EDU Tello
