Makes sense.  After a second look, it appears that packet.py is not
dealing with different working dirs nicely because of this usage of
os.getcwd():

    # Add raw interface to the packet FFI stub.
    _packet = None
    _cwd = os.getcwd()
    if 'gpsd' in _cwd.split('/'):
        _path = _cwd + '/'
    else:
        _path = './'
    #    _path = ['@libdir@']

Checking for 'gpsd' in cwd seems like a questionable heuristic.

Best regards,
