[chirp_devel] Icom CI-V drivers migrated for Python 3

[Martin Cooper]

I've just pushed to my own fork the changes to migrate the Icom CI-V
drivers for Python 3. Tested and working against an IC-910. I haven't yet
created a pull request, because if I do, GitHub will conflate it with
another pull request that makes some fixes to the UI. (Yes, I should have
created separate fix branches, but didn't think about it until after the
fact.) When the UI fixes are applied, I'll create a pull request for the
Icom CI-V drivers.

One issue that came up as I was doing this is that of bytearray vs bytes. A
couple of methods really, really want bytes and won't accept bytearray. The
two I came across are MemoryMapBytes() and hexprint(). These will fail if
passed a bytearray. Since the Icom CI-V driver works with bytearray, these
have to be cast to bytes any time one of those methods are called. I think
it would make sense for these methods to accept both bytes and bytearray.

Martin.
