gpsd is a service daemon that monitors one or more GPSes attached to a host computer through serial or USB ports, making all data on the location/course/ velocity of the sensors available to be queried on TCP port 2947 of the host computer. . This package contains a Python interface to conntect to gpsd, together with a module providing a controlled testing environment. It also ships two tools which utilize the interface: gpsprof for latency-profiling and gpsfake to simulate a GPS by playing back a logfile.
