pip is your problem, not your solution. We just became aware that
pip is serving up that ancient version and are trying to get it
fixed.
That is not good. pip is the official way to distribute modules, particularly on an embedded platform where compilation from scratch is very painful.
You should install the entire gpsd package, not just the
ancient python module.
gpsd is on 3.15-build1 which doesn't seem so bad, right?
