[chirp_devel] MemoryMapBytes

[Rick DeWitt AA0RD]

Dan-
The new py3 MemoryMapBytes method has a problem.
Firstly, the py2.7 bytes() call is just an alias for string(), so it 
does not generate a byte array.
I had to convert the data string to an integer list in order for 
MemoryMapBytes to accept it. Otherwise it generates an error.

in sync_in-- this works
         bdata = []
         for bx in data:        # memory hog
             bdata.append(ord(bx))
         self._mmap = memmap.MemoryMapBytes(bdata)     # For py3
         self.process_mmap()

This does not work; generates "integer required" error -
       bdata = bytes(data)
       self._mmap = memmap.MemoryMapBytes(bdata)

Likewise if I convert the USB string data reads to bytes() in the 
download function; still bombs -
     bdata = bytes()
     bdata.append = bytes(xxx)
     ...
     self._mmap = memmap.MemoryMapBytes(bdata)
