[chirp_devel] chirp-py3 status?

Fri Dec 11 07:03:45 PST 2020

More good news....

I got this working in Windows 10 after fixing a USB Serial driver issue.

Looks like we have a working Python 3 version in Linux, Mac, and Windows.
It's definitely not as good as the main branch. Missing quite a few
features (like importing from RepeaterBook), but it's definitely a start.
