Bug#883286: Please ship a python3-gps package

[Bernd Zeimetz]

That's not all and not the problem. The real one is that scons in Debian does 
not support python 3 due to a broken Debian patch. Opened a bug already...

Have a look at this commit:

http://deb.li/3KWUA

If patching it is this simple, then I think it's worth doing so.

thats all true, but the SConstruct file in 3.17 just does not work with
python3. I could create a hand hacked package, but I'm not keen on doing
that.

The Python code in gpsd is compatible with both Python2 and Python3,
as stated in the header of the Python files:

# This code runs compatibly under Python 2 and 3.x for x >= 2.

I believe a python3-gps package will be almost identical to python-gps.

Bug#883286: Please ship a python3-gps package

[Richard Laager]

Source: gpsd
Version: 3.17-3
Severity: wishlist

I have recently packaged ntpsec for Debian. (It's currently in the NEW
queue.) As it is a new package, I am trying to use python3 exclusively.

There is one exception, ntploggps, which is currently using python2
because it requires the gps module from gpsd. This module is only
packaged for python2, as python-gps.

Please consider shipping a python3-gps package, either in addition to or
instead of python-gps. I don't know how much work that will be, so I
understand that it might be a while.
