I'm working on a writing a Python script that will interface with and pull GPSD data into an application. This obviously involves an external library.
I have set up my configuration as follows on the Raspberry Pi I am using to deploy the code:
sudo apt-get install gpsd gpsd-clients python-gps
I have a working test sample code that creates the gps listener and pulls in data. It looks something like this:
gpsd = gps(mode=WATCH_ENABLE)
while gpsp.running:
gpsd.next()
It works great if I run it by calling the following command:
python test.py
But the code breaks due to an ImportError:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 1, in <module>
from gps import *
ImportError: No module named gps
If I run it using:
python3 test.py
This makes sense to me because when I set up the project, I only included the libraries for the default Python (Python 2.7), not Python 3. But python3-gps isn't a package, and the rest of my project demands Python 3, so I don't know what to do.
Would it be possible to copy the Python 2.7 build of the gps library into Python 3 without errors? What other libraries should I look at? Is there anyway around this error?
Thanks so much!
There actually is a version make for version 3 -- see GitHub here...

It advertises itself as a simple port to python 3....
