gpsd looks like it's using automake rather than setup.py.  So you'll 
need to modify Makefile.am and re-run autogen.sh

Start by reading the info page for automake and searching for pyexecdir. 
   Since you have both python files and a python extension module you 
may have to write a custom target for the *.py files.  I haven't done 
this particular thing before so you'll have to experiment a little.
