I am trying to write a python program to "emulate" a USB GPS device

Basically I have something running over the network to tell my Mac
its GPS location. The application I have running is listening to the
data from the network and then I want that data be pushed onto a
"virtual" USB GPS device. The data I will send out of it will be the
standard NMEA data for any navigation software on a Mac (e.g.
RouteBuddy) to read.
Would anyone know how to create this "virtual port" through python?
I'm not sure I completely understand what you want to achieve, but it
might be worth looking at the python code in the gpsd package of
programs. One of those programs, possibly gpsfake, may either do what
you want, or at least give some good ideas.
