Replace broken and unmaintained gps
package
#274
Comments
Okay so the I opened https://gitlab.com/gpsd/gpsd/-/issues/232 in the hopes that the maintainers will push an update to PyPI. We'll see what they say. |

encoding
has been deprecated since Python 3.1, apparently.Either convince someone to update it or find a replacement.
