Odd, works for me.  It looks like once skyview2svg has a SKY and
TPV sentence it continues.

Here is your code:

        while True:
            SENTENCE = json.loads(sys.stdin.readline())
            if 'class' in SENTENCE and SENTENCE['class'] == 'SKY':
                SKY = SENTENCE
            if 'class' in SENTENCE and SENTENCE['class'] == 'TPV':
                TPV = SENTENCE
            if SKY is not None and TPV is not None:
                break

What is hapeneing when I do it:

1. skyview2svg get the SKY and TPV

2. skyview2svg builds the svg

3. skyview2svg exits

4. pipe is broken, so gpspipe exits.

Can you confirm your Python and gpspipe versions?

Also, what about getting the license changed to BSD-2-clause?
