The gpsclients related to the gpsd project offer good examples in python.
A cheap work around to applications that can't listen to gpsd is to pipe the
data to a 'virtual port and have the client pick it up from there, e.g.;
/usr/bin/gpspipe -r | socat - PTY,link=/tmp/gpsout.pty,raw
...pointing the app to /tmp/gpsout.pty ...or whatever you want to call it.
Put it in a startup script for the app to avoid problems.
