ds2: I did get the gpsd command to work too.
<set_>
gpsmon "Not w/ /dev/ttyS2" is the key.
<set_>
So, just gpsmon runs a the script.

set_: if you give gpsmon a device path then it will try to open that device directly instead of talking to gpsd, and that fails since it's already in use by gpsd
<set_>
Right!
<set_>
I understand now. I was going by their docs. and trying out things to test.
<set_>
Anyway...@zmatt. Thank you for replying. Until later!
<set_>
BBL!
<zmatt>
set_: and your make() function never gets called since you're calling this example after this "__init__" function which never returns
<zmatt>
also, names like __init__ are for special-purpose functions, you shouldn't name a function like that unless it actually *is* for that special purpose
<zmatt>
also, your make() function (if it were to get called) will fail to exit when it's supposed to because you're inside yet another infinite loop
<zmatt>
didn't you already have a working version of this script? why did you change to using the threaded mechanism?
<zmatt>
anyway, I'm at work, afk

@zmatt: yes and no. I did have a working script.
<set_>
No more. But now, their examples seem to work a bit.

Now, I am trying to save their examples, some bits and pieces, but this time is when I will add in the script to handle .txt writing and appending.
<set_>
I know if I do not call make(), I do not receive anything. And even if I did call make(), nothing would happen.
<set_>
It is a harsh reality of terrible source I typed up so far. I am one night in so far!

Basically, the .kml file for google earth is why I am trying to print to .txt output.
<set_>
Ever since Python3 changed from python to python3, I have had numerous occasions where the GPS does not read back when prompted.
<set_>
But...the file keeps running. Like it is waiting for input. I will keep trying.
<set_>
I tried 0b and just b but neither work so far. I tried to .format it w/ f-strings but nothing so far.
<set_>
So, it is up in the air at the moment. python-is-python3 is no longer available (I think).

All the older source I have found that I changed a bit and used is now obsolete. I have not found any work arounds for python3 and this bytes business. I find specific on it only so often.
<set_>
Anyway, no issue. I just thought people may be throwing away something I could use.
