Package: python-gps Version: 2.95-8 When I use python-gps to talk to gpsd with the stream method, I never get a GPS fix. The reason is that gps.py cannot find its function isotime() and therefore chokes on various GPS packets.
Here is an example. I use the following code:
---
from gps import *
session = gps(host = "gpshost")
session.stream(WATCH_ENABLE|WATCH_NEWSTYLE)
while True:
try:
session.next()
except NameError:
import sys
print "ERROR:"
print sys.exc_info()
print session.response
---
The output is:
ERROR:

defined",), <traceback object at 0xb7235694>)

The fix is simple. Just change the beginning of
/usr/share/pyshared/gps/gps.py to:
<...>
import time
from client import *
from misc import *
<...>
The last line is currently missing in 2.95-8 but isotime() is contained
in misc.py.
