Just a rough explanation.

When you start the GPS register the time

Code:

global StartTime
StartTime = time.time()

Then in the function you listen for the GPS changes add a check

Code:

PastTime = time.time() - StartTime
if PastTime >= GPSTIMEOUT:
   data.stop()

ofcourse you need to import time.

I think this is all you need to make it work, this is also how the smscon_daemon does it.
