I do not know "GPSD" - therefore, I have only very general remarks for you. A Python binding, any kind of, is just a binding: it allows you to interact with a third party entity (usually a library or a service) via Python. To use a binding successfully, you will need to understand this third party entity: how it expects to get initialized, what order of calls are supported, what input parameters are expected and what output the calls produce. Once, you have grapsed the essentials of the third party entity, you can have a close look at the Python binding to learn how to do all this from a Python script. I am speaking as the author of "dm.xmlsec.binding", a binding to the "XML Security Library". Surprises similar to those reported by you can occur when someone uses "dm.xmlsec.binding" without a thorough understanding of the "XML Security Library". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
