All we need would be someone to create the pip file to install.  Someone
else has gpsd in pip, and it is not our code.

IIRC there is one built from gpsd code with [1] ESR is listed as the author, GEM is listed as a maintainer and the home page points to the git repo.

Totally unrelated. Chicanery.

Plus, the gpsd python module still requires gpsd libraries to be installed,
which is not pip compliant.

There is one that does that. The template source is in packaging/gpsd-setup.py.in it seems to not yet have made the transition to the new build layout.
