Hi all,

The PyMaemo team is proud announce the immediate availability of
Python bindings for the Location API (used for GPS access) in Maemo 5,
provided by the "python-location" package.

The package is currently available in extras-devel, but should arrive
in extras-testing/extras once some application which depends on it is
promoted.

A tutorial-like documentation is available[1] with a complete example,
based on the existing section from the Maemo 5 Developer Guide. We
also have a reference manual[2] based on the C documentation.

Feel free to report bugs and doubts to our mailing list:
https://garage.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/pymaemo-developers/ (or here
as well).

Known issues:

* The "satellites" and "cell_info" attributes of GPSDevice class are
still not available in Python.
