Good morning Davis,
You were right, I had the wrong pynmea2 package, I used the correct one and the Python code started working.
XCSoar shows "Connected, Flarm" but I can't see any traffic displayed on the XCSoar Map. I see Skyecho UDP port is also 4000 so that is not the issue.
The port monitor on XCSoar only shows the $PFLAU....but I can see on another device connected to Skyecho Transponder traffic in the vicinity.
Any ideas where the problem might be?
Thanks again,
Bogdan

Bogdan,
I'm assuming you got Pynmea2 from their github or from Python's pip install. Whoever maintains pynmea2 hasn't updated that package to include LAU and LAA support yet.
Go here https://github.com/DavisChappins/GDL90toNMEA and follow step 3, you need my custom pynmea2 folder. The only change in the pynmea2 folder hosted by me and the default one is that I updated talker.py to include LAU and LAA sentences. I guess if you wanted you can just replace talker.py.
The SkyEcho2 outputs UDP on port 4000? If it uses a different port you can change line 83 in the script to listen to whatever port you need.
