A simple gpsd client.
Project description
gpsdclient
A small and simple gpsd client for python 3.
This package is in active development and not yet published to PyPI.
Installation
Needs python 3 installed.
If you want to use the library, use pip:
pip3 install gpsdclient
If you want to use only the standalone gpsd viewer, I recommend to use pipx:
pipx install gpsdclient
Usage in your scripts
from gpsdclient import GPSDClient
client = GPSDClient(host="127.0.0.1")
# get your data as json strings:
for result in client.json_stream():
print(result)
# or as python dicts (optionally convert time information to `datetime.datetime` objects
for result in client.dict_stream(convert_datetime=True):
print(result)
Command line usage
You can use the gpsdclient
standalone program or execute the module with
python3 -m gpsdclient
.
$ gpsdclient --host=192.168.177.151

Why
I made this because I just needed a simple client library to read the json data gpsd is sending. The other python clients have various problems, like 100 % cpu usage, missing python 3 support, license problems or they aren't available on PyPI. I also wanted a simple gpsd client to check if everything is working.
This client is as simple as possible with one exception: It supports the automatic
conversion of "time" data into datetime.datetime
objects.
Have fun, hope you like it.
