[chirp_devel] chirp-py3 status?

[Matthew Poletiek]

Good news. I got this running in windows this morning.

I had to use the chirpwx.py script to bring it up.

I installed python3.9 for windows and used pip to bring in all the
dependencies.

pip install pypiwin32
pip install wxpython
pip install six
pip install future
pip install pyserial

Still working on getting a download from my radio though. Issue might be
related to the fact I'm running windows 10 in a VM. Continuing to test, but
it looks like we have a path forward in windows.
