[Python script] Syncing datetime with GPS time

Main python script, gps_date.py:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

import location

import gobject

from sys import stderr





def on_error(control, error, data):

    stderr.write("location error: %d... quitting" % error)

    data.quit()





def on_changed(device, data):

    if not device:

        return



    if device.fix:

        if device.fix[1] & location.GPS_DEVICE_TIME_SET:

            timestamp, accuracy = device.fix[2:4]

            if accuracy == 0:

                print "%d" % timestamp

                data.stop()





def on_stop(control, data):

    data.quit()





def start_location(data):

    data.start()

    return False





method = location.METHOD_USER_SELECTED



loop = gobject.MainLoop()

control = location.GPSDControl.get_default()

device = location.GPSDevice()

control.set_properties(preferred_method=method,

                       preferred_interval=location.INTERVAL_DEFAULT)



control.connect("error-verbose", on_error, loop)

device.connect("changed", on_changed, control)

control.connect("gpsd-stopped", on_stop, loop)



gobject.idle_add(start_location, control)



loop.run()

Bash wrapper, must be executed with su privileges:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
