You can ignore this. It comes from a low level library, and until the library 
is fixed there's nothing devs using python can do to stop it.

That's more of a problem as it suggests frameworkd hasn't found the GPS. Or I 
got the case wrong doing it from memory, which is less of a problem ;-) You 
can find out which resources it knows about using:

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage 
org.freesmartphone.Usage.ListResources

Documentation for the resource handling calls is here:
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/org.freesmartphone.Usage.html;hb=HEAD

If it doesn't have a gps resource you'll need to set the log level to DEBUG in 
/etc/frameworkd.conf and check the log to see if there's any indication of a 
problem.
