1) (line 106) self.status = STATUS_NO_FIX
2) (line 110) self.xdop = self.ydop = self.vdop = self.tdop = 0
self.pdop = self.hdop = self.gdop = 0.0
I remember I had some other issue but I don't remember it right now. Basically the above ones made me quite suspicious as to the quality of the python bindings and hence my question in the first email.
Thanks and let me know if you need more details.
Cheers,
Tony

This is not a good idea! Any offline NMEA parser other than GPSD's,
whatever it is, is fairly likely to break in some obscure way if you
change receivers. NMEA 0183 is a weak standard; getting the whole
range of allegedly-NMEA devices right is *hard*. Bypassing GPSD's
parsing stage, whixch has been pre-tested on a wide range of devices,
is asking for trouble.

Look at gpsdecode(1). I don't think you'll miss anything.
