hi,
I have this python program that uses GPSD (http://catb.org/gpsd/) to read data from a GPS connected to the machine. Here is the code that I use for this purpose. It works perfectly fine as a python program. But how do I get something like this to run within Lianja? How do I handle the imports/modules? I am a newbie to both Lianja / python, and hence the "starter's question" :o
