Re: [gpsd-users] Python client bindings

[Stoyan Haralampiev]

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the reply!

I'll prepare a list of the problems I noticed and will send it to you. Meanwhile I decided to go collect raw NMEA output from the GPS and use an NMEA parser offline to get useful data out of the log.

Do you have some kind of offline API in gpsd for looking at a NMEA log file instead of a live GPS connection? Do you think I'll miss something important if I go this way instead of using GPSD for receiving GPS data?

I know gpsd does a lot more than this but in my case I just need to have a gps log from a motorcycle and then analyze it to get a route and max/avg speed for different sections of it.

Thanks,
Tony

The C client bindings are the most stable and tested, but the Python ones
are *supposed* to be complete.  Can you be more specific about the errors?
