[chirp_devel] Consider uploading one of the Python3 Chirp projects to replace deprecated Python2 based Chirp in Debian's "testing" repo

[Martin Cooper]

That's an issue caused by Python 3.10. A lot of projects have been running
into it. In Chirp's case, the errors are coming out of a generated source
file (pyPEG.py). That file says it was "written by VB", but I've no idea
how (or when). As such, it's unclear as to whether editing the file
manually is the right solution. I suspect only Dan can answer that.

Martin.
