Python client - gpsd

[Al Grant]

HI,

So I tried to connect to the gpsd using the python client at :
https://gpsd.io/gpsd-client-example-code.html
Unfortunately I get the following error message: TypeError:
JSONDecoder.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding'

The full stack trace is :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

kw['parse_constant'] = parse_constant --> 359 return
cls(**kw).decode(s) TypeError: JSONDecoder.__init__() got an

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
