ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Hello,
I'm trying to run the following script:

from gpsdclient import GPSDClient

client = GPSDClient(host="127.0.0.1")
for result in client.json_stream():
print(result)

But it gives me always the error

714             if source_address:
715                 sock.bind(source_address)
716             sock.connect(sa)
717             # Break explicitly a reference cycle
718             err = None

ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 61] Connection refused

I try to change the host to '0.0.0.0' but still not working and I do not know how to solve it ???!!!
Any hints for that!!

Is gpsd running in the background?

[Shreif-Shouman]

well, I think yes it's running in the background, because if I print (client) I get back:
<GPSDClient(host=127.0.0.1, port=2947)>

Did you install gpsd on your system? What is the output of systemctl status gpsd (if you are on linux)?

This software is required for the client to work: https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/index.html

Closing this as I suspect gpsd was not installed
