/usr/bin/xgps is a Python 2.7 script, the ebuild does record compatibility as Python 2.7, however the script itself is '#!/usr/bin/python". On current ~x86_64 default systems (and maybe x86_64) where Python 3.6 is the default implementation the script fails at: import gps because the gps.py module is not present in 3.6. The module belongs to the gpsd package but is only installed /usr/lib/python2.7. I fixed it by changing the script #! to /usr/bin/python2.7
