[chirp_devel] [PATCH] Fix some GTK errors in mainapp #7923

[Alex Page]

I'm on a new install of 20.04 and CHIRP is working fine (for me) after
those minor patches for Python3 and GTK syntax.  I didn't have to jump
through any hoops to install prereqs.  Actually, I think pyserial was the
only thing I needed to install.

I tried running my fork in a fresh 18.04 VM, and only needed to install
`future` and `serial`.  Unfortunately I don't have a way to test on other
platforms (e.g. Windows).

Note that I am operating from the py3 branch, so maybe some work was
already done there to remove the problematic dependencies you mentioned.
