Description

We need to have python bindings available for the gps part of the core libraries (on behalf of Stefan Keller). These binding will be used mainly to listen on QgsGPSConnection::stateChanged() signals. This is more or less the follow up issue on the developer mailing list thread http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2012-January/017575.html

Therefor I created sip files for some - hopefully all - of the required gps components but as I am new to sip files it might be required that some of the pro's will check the attached files for completeness.

Hi Marcel

The patch is applied to master. I'm not a sip expert, however, the best test of the bindings is probably to really use the bindings.

With this path QGIS won't compile. The error is

/usr/share/sip/PyQt4/QtCore/qlist.sip: In function 'int convertTo_QList_0111QgsGPSConnection(PyObject*, void**, int*, PyObject*)':
/usr/share/sip/PyQt4/QtCore/qlist.sip:195:18: error: cannot convert 'QList<QgsGPSConnection*>*' to 'QList<const QgsGPSConnection*>*' in assignment
