I want to add a timeout so that when I pull out my gps from my serial
port, it would wait for a bit then loop and then see if it's there. I
also want to add a print statement saying that there is no GPS device
found. However when I run my code and unplug my serial port, my code
will just hang until I plug it back in.
This is my code right now:

def GetGPS():
data = []
#Open com1: 9600,8,N,1
fi = serial.Serial(0, timeout = 1)
print '[gps module] SERIAL PORT OPEN ON COM1:'

can anyone help me please? Thanks.
