hi,
I have a gps device which sends it's position to a any web url. I want
to catch this info which I will send to a port (say 9000). How do I do
this in python - something totally new for me, so please give some clues
on where to begin.

If i understood this correctly you specify the web url for the gps device
right? Why not set the port in the url itself like
http://example.com:9000/.
So the gps sends directly to port 9000 and you have a web server listening
on that port.
Or have i missed something?

I've not used tcpdump but wouldn't this give you a TCP packet level
dump? Would not netcat (netcat -l 9000) be mo
