[Python] How to resolve 'Broken pipe' error when accessing GPS data via Python while Minicom...

I'm trying to access GPS data from my GPS module using Python, but I encounter a Broken pipe error. However, when I use Minicom to access the same GPS module, it works fine and I can see the GPS location

My setup:

1. Device: Raspberry Pi
2. GPS Module: Connected via USB (/dev/ttyUSB2)
3. Baud rate: 115200 (same as in Minicom)
4. OS: Raspberry Pi OS
5. Minicom Configuration: Works fine and I can see the GPS data

I am using the pyserial library to access the GPS data in my Python script.

This is my code:

import serial

# Open the serial connection to the GPS
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB2', 115200, timeout=1)

while True:
line = ser.readline().decode('utf-8').strip() # Read a line from GPS
if line.startswith("+CGNSINF"):
# Print the whole line or process it
print(line)



and this is the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/jana/gps.py", line 4, in <module>
ser = serial.Serial('/dev/ttyUSB2', 115200, timeout=1)
