busybox still ships netstat.

rhel7+8 has it, 6 is eol or will be eol soon.

*BSD won't have it, there I'm not even sure which flags of netstat are
common on all platforms.

Using
 ss -tlpn
or
 netstat -tlpn


Instead of :2947 I'd grep for gpsd. People might run it on different ports.

That has nothing to do with Debian.
People might have installed things with python2 or python3.
Or in the worst case, an old version with python2 and a newer version
with python3. If its packaged in Debian, python2 and 3 will work in the
the same way until buster, starting wil bullseye python2-* will be gone
(I think the plain python2 binary will still be there for now).
