I haven't done anything spectacular with a GPS and Python for S60 but a few others have.

Nick Burch has written several GPS apps in Python. The most polished is nmea_info (http://gagravarr.livejournal.com/104793.html) and contains some nice routines for wrangling NMEA data.

Christopher Schmidt has also done a lot with Python for S60 and locative technology (http://crschmidt.net/symbian/). His stumblestore app (http://gsmloc.org/code/stumblestore.py) feeds data to his GSM location site (http://gsmloc.org/).

There are also a lot of PyS60 code snippets (http://bigbold.com/ snippets/tag/pys60) and a collection of links and info on my wiki (http://www.postneo.com/postwiki/moin.cgi/PythonForSeries60) to get you started with PyS60.

Cheers,

Speaking of small Bluetooth GPS devices, I've been extremely happy
with my Holux GPSlim 236 and have used it with Python on my S60 phone
and have successfully used it with OSX, Ubuntu Dapper, my Nokia 770
and a windows mobile PDA.

Very interesting. I've got the same device, and purchased for
the same purpose. Can you post pointers to your python code, or is this
proprietary stuff?

Here's a quick writeup that I did shortly after picking it up:

The only thing it lacks that I think would be useful is onboard
logging, but that can be forgiven considering its size and price point.
