[chirp_devel] Python 3 Build

[Dan Smith]

First, my apologies for sitting on the outstanding patches here. I just got back from a week-long trip and am digging out, so don't think I'm ignoring (any of) you.

Yeah, you can't install pygtk in python3, which is the whole reason for needing to really make a move. And, yes, pygobject can be a mess for sure which is one reason I don't think it's a suitable replacement. Pretty much any python3 from 3.4 on or so should be fine. In a linux distro that should be pretty easy with distro packages. If it's windows, I'm not sure I can help much as I haven't tried to get a python3 environment working there yet.

However, if you're just trying to do basic testing you could install the wxpython stuff which is a lot simpler and use chirpwx.py instead, which won't require any of the gobject stuff.
