## What it is
A collection of Python sample modules for controlling and interacting with the Ryze Tello drone, including command scripting, video streaming with h264 decoding, and pose-based control demos. It is official DJI sample code based on Python 2.7.

## Use cases
- control a Tello drone with Python scripts
- stream and decode live video from a Tello drone
- control a drone using body pose recognition
- read and debug Tello drone status data
- test Tello SDK command sets

## When to choose
- you want official sample code for the Ryze Tello SDK
- you need a starting point for Tello video streaming or command scripting
- you want examples of pose-based drone control

## When to avoid
- you need modern Python 3 support or maintained libraries
- you need production-grade drone control software
- you use a drone other than the Ryze Tello

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: sdk, video-processing, computer-vision, robotics
- domain: robotics, developer-tools, computer-vision
- platform: python, windows, cross-platform
- tags: drone, tello, dji, sample-code, video-streaming, pose-recognition, python2, linux, macos
