I am converting the ros-trimble-bd960 package to read from a socket rather than serial port. I thought this was pretty straight forward as they read the same type of data but I just needed to change a few things in the code. I can upload what i have to a github repo if needed. I have tested the socket stream away from ROS and had no problems. I know this error is apparently something wrong with my python setup but would like some direction. Running both launch files gives the same error:

Which Ubuntu do you have? If 20.04, you can install python-is-python3 package to use Python 3.x as default one
