Hi @mrx23dot,

Please note that Python 3.7 has been end-of-life since 2023-06-27 and is no longer supported. I strongly recommend you update to a more recent version of Python from the official repository at https://www.python.org/.

You're also using a relatively old version of PyGPSClient - again, I recommend you update to the latest available version (1.4.14 at time of writing):

python3 -m pip install --ugprade pygpsclient, pynmeagps, pyubx2, pyrtcm, pyspartn, pygnssutils

Having said that, it's possible that this error may be due to some other obsolete or outdated libraries on your platform (e.g. OpenSSL or cryptography). What version of OpenSSL and the Python cryptography library are you using? If it's not the latest available, I recommend updating (latest available at time of writing is 42.0.5):

python3 -m pip show cryptography

python3 -m pip install --upgrade cryptography

A quick Google search on this error messages gives the following, for example:
