Package: python-gps
Version: 2.37-7
Severity: normal
On Lenny, gps.gps.waiting() always returns True because it makes incorrect
assumptions about socket internals:
>>> import gps
>>> g=gps.gps()
>>> g.waiting()
True
>>> g.poll()
-1
def waiting(self):
"Return True if data is ready for the client."
if self.sockfile._rbuf: # Ugh...relies on socket library internals.
return True
else:
(winput,woutput,wexceptions) = select.select((self.sock,), (),(), 0)
return winput != []
The version of python-gps on squeeze has the socket internals hack removed:
def waiting(self):
"Return True if data is ready for the client."
if self.linebuffer:
return True
(winput, woutput, wexceptions) = select.select((self.sock,), (), (), 0)
return winput != []
Simple removing the first test (from the lenny version) seems to work fine.
