Hello,
I am trying to setup aprs module on a Raspberry pi but I have this error
AttributeError: module 'aprs' has no attribute 'parse_frame'
with this code => frame = aprs.parse_frame('xxxx')

I ran into the same error when executing a.send(frame)

>>> a.send(frame)
2019-04-26 16:27:58,498 aprs INFO aprs.classes.send:340 - Sending frame="BG4CHU>APRS:>Hello World!"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aprs/classes.py", line 343, in send
    _frame = bytes(frame + b'\n\r')
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'Frame' and 'bytes'

Any idea?

This may or may not help but I had a similar issue:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/gk1016/PycharmProjects/aprs/util.py", line 11, in
a = aprs.TCP('W6CRJ', '12345')
File "/Users/gk1016/PycharmProjects/aprs/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/aprs/classes.py", line 272, in init
aprs_filter = aprs_filter or b'/'.join([b'p', user]) # Unicode
TypeError: sequence item 1: expected a bytes-like object, str found

It was due to the int vs byte coding. To fix it, I set two variables:
payload_callsign = 'W6CRJ'.encode('utf-8')
payload_passcode = '12345'.encode('utf-8')

Then inserted as follows:

a = aprs.TCP(payload_callsign, payload_passcode)

a.start()
a.receive(callback=p)

As was well in the kingdom. You could also go into the source and change things around...

I apologize if this isn't the place for it, but searches specific to aprs and this issue kept kicking me to here.
