Do I need mavproxy?

Hello,

I am trying to use a RPi 2 and a Pixhawk to run a computer vision algorithm which then inputs flight commands to ArduCopter 3.3. I was wondering if there was a way to do this without having to go through mavproxy as the flight commands will need to be sent through mavlink but the vision is done on the Pi with OpenCV. I would like to be able to write a python script which connects the Pi to Pixhawk and then overrides the vehicles RC channels based on the stream of data it is receiving from the vision code, but mavproxy seems like it is getting in the way of being able to do this.

Any Help would be appreciated,

Thanks
