I guess I answered my own question:
The forecast function definition has changed in gnuradio 3.10 and it is now
defined in such a way that the second argument is only the number of input
ports.
So a correct forecast looks like this.
def forecast(self, noutput_items, ninputs):
ninput_items_required = [0] * ninputs
for i in range(ninputs):
ninput_items_required[i] = noutput_items * self.sps
return ninput_items_required
