There is a python 3 branch and multiple people, including myself, have offered to do work but there's no real drive from the project owner to make the transition and it's difficult to ensure the updated gui code and all of the radio interfaces work 100% correctly.

It is a shame that this project has effectively died as far as it's 
inclusion in linux distros is concerned because py2 is dead.
I received a direct mail as a result of my post. I am not disclosing the 
sender but I think it deserves to be seen.

"Hi Barry,

Just saw your note on the Chirp email list. Wow, no support of Python 3.

I have been meaning to get involved with the project as would be a good 
way for me to contribute. Python 2.x? Puhlease.

Looking at the one response though, am not surprised. Was "amused" that 
they use a source control system that is not git. Didn't want to spend 
the time coming up to speed on that (archaic?) system so never pursued. 
Looks like I will be unsubscribing from the list now as there is nothing 
that I contribute.

Thank you bringing this up."

Seems that people would be willing to help if only there was the will to 
move forward.
