title: working with NMEA data sent to URL/IP
body: <p>i have a bunch of devices that send NMEA sentences to a URL/ip. 
  that look like this</p>
  
  <p>"$GPGGA,200130.0,3447.854659,N,11014.636735,W,1,11,0.8,41.4,M,-24.0,M,,*53"</p>
  
  <p>i want to read this data in, parse it and upload the key parts to a database. i know how to parse it and upload it to the DB but i am at a complete loss on how to "read"/accept/get the data into a python program so that i can parse and upload.  </p>
  
  <p>my first thought was to point it at a Django page and then have Djanog parse it and upload to the database (data will be accessed from Django site) but its a NMEA sentence not a HTTP request so Django rejects it as "message Bad request syntax" </p>
  
  <p>what is the best (python) way to read NMEA sentences sent to a url/IP?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
