I am looking for Python library, which can work with GPS coordinates. Let’s say, I have a list of coordinates:

>>> gps = [
...  (53.25012925, −6.24479338, 349.9, '2011-08-20T09:35:00Z'),
...  (53.25028285, -6.24441800, 359.9, '2011-08-20T09:35:30Z'),
...  (53.25049500, -6.24266032, 395.9, '2011-08-20T09:36:00Z'),
...  # and so on...
... ]
>>>

I would like to compute average speed, distance, get the higest point, and other info. I know, it is quite simple to compute it, but I am wondering if there is any existing code (I do not like to reinvent the wheel).

Note: There is similar question here in stackoverflow (Which gps library would you recommend for python?), but it is about GPSD. I am not working with any device, I just have GPS coordinates in text file.

    I have found an interesting library named geopy. It can calculate distances between two GPS points (it uses great-circle distance and Vincenty distance methods). On top of that, geopy can do geocoding (it can get GPS coordinates from an address).

    The other features (average speed, higest point, etc.) I can hack by myself.
