You may have a *very* old gps/ Python library still installed.

Find the library installation directory.  Look under gps/.  There
should be a file named gps.py containing code like this:

def is_sbas(prn):
    "Is this the NMEA ID of an SBAS satellite?"
    return prn >= 120 and prn <= 158

If you run from the GPSD source directory, gps/ should be right underneath it.
