Could you explain more why it's not working/what is not working or what gps.py actually does to talk to gpsd. One problem you might encounter is that ogpsd and fso-gpsd only switch on the GPS when there's actually a program that needs GPS. In the case of fso-gpsd that happens when you connect to the gpsd port. My guess is that the connection is either made at the constructor (g = gps.gps()) or for every call (g.query(admosy)). At this point the chip will not have any fix for sure, even with hotstart working it usually takes ~16 seconds. What you can do to test my hypothesis is start a different program like the GPS view in zhone and wait until GPS actually has a fix and then try with your program. If you get a fix then you can request the resource GPS to make sure GPS stays on. So you have 2 solutions: 1)replace fso-gpsd by gpsd 2)use dbus to talk to the GPS 3)Make fso-gpsd compatible with gpsd so gps.py works.

Re: [2008.12] GPS from python
I have always used the gps.py module that is included with linux on my desktop distros (debian, ubuntu etc). It can usually be found here: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gps.py I am dunning Debian on my Freerunner, I copied gps.py from my desktop to the same location on the phone and it works just fine! Usage goes like this: Python 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Feb 22 2008, 07:57:53) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5363)] on darwin Type help, copyright, credits or license for more information. import gps g = gps.gps() g.query(admosy) g.fix.latitude 34.432875 More examples using gps.py here: http://www.perrygeo.net/wordpress/?p=13 On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 5:23 AM, Nicolas Laurance nlaura...@zindep.comwrote: you might want to read the thread http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td786643 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[2008.12] GPS from python
Hi all :) Could someone explain me which is the most easy way to catch lat, lon and time from GPS after the fix, using Python? I use gpsd, TangoGPS etc, and I'm working on a Python app for OpenStreetMap smart tagging in real time ;) I installed python-pygps but it appears that no infos are available after the fix, so it appears to me pretty useless. Any tip / faq / man?
