[chirp_devel] Is anyone running chirp on Python 3?

[Dominick C. Pastore]

It seems like we get a question about the status of the Python 3 conversion and what work is left every month or two. I wonder if it would be useful to put together some sort of Py3 TODO list, both for people who are curious and for people who want to help but don't know where it's needed. I'm not sure how much work that would be to put together, or if it would be worth it.
