It's a little difficult to reverse engineer this without knowing which
aprs.py you are running and where you got it from, and if it's Gary's old
extension he has apparently gone dark and deleted all his github repos. I'm
guessing you're running an old copy you had stashed somewhere perhaps.
See if this thread helps any......
