Python3 GPSD client

This is a library for polling gpsd in Python3, forked from gpsd-py3.

We forked it to add a couple of things:

1. Warning message to indicate if /etc/default/gpsd is correctly configured.
2. get_current_as_dict() to enable synchronous snapshots of useful information from a parsed response.

Installation

Install through pip:

$ pip3 install pp-gpsd-py3

Usage

Just import it and poll the gps. Only a single gpsd server a time is supported:

import gpsd

# Connect to the local gpsd
gpsd.connect()

# Connect somewhere else
gpsd.connect(host="127.0.0.1", port=123456)

# Get gps position
packet = gpsd.get_current()

# See the inline docs for GpsResponse for the available data
print(packet.position())

More detailed documentation is available in the inline docstrings in the module. A list is also readable in DOCS.md (thanks @richteelbah for the detailed docs)
