Research direction
Examine existing examples in the PythonRobotics repository to understand the code style and structure, particularly any that involve sensor data or filtering. Look at the KalmanFilter example if present. The issue is open for contributions; consider implementing a GPS IMU fusion algorithm such as an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and add it as a new example with proper documentation.
