python-gps 2.39-1ubuntu1 (powerpc binary) in ubuntu karmic

 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.
