3.20 has not changed.  So must be Buster.

Update never break anything?

Ocuh.

On some distros, if the tests are run too fast, things fail.  As
an ugly hack, delays are inserted into the test.  To add some 
more delay:

# export WRITE_PAD=0.01
# scons check

If that fails, tryL

# export WRITE_PAD=0.2
# scons check

You have a git head build failure?  That I'd like to see.

This looks normal:

Then not a failure.  A feature you can't use.

I test with 2.7, 3.6, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 and soon 3.9.  gpsd does not
use any deprecated or removed Python 2.7 features.  Or any features
not in 2.7 that are not handled by future.

So nothing to worry there.  Python 3.7 will get shoved down your throat
soon, get ready to duck.  It breaks a lot of packages.  Just not gpsd.
