There was a small thread last month on this mailing list about it. A<br>
quote from Dan himself:<br>
> You're welcome to send me patches against the py3 branch if you want (please make them obvious), but I have to prioritize fixes and stuff on the main branch just out of respect to the 99.9% of users that it impacts.<br>
<br>
tl;dr Dan's too busy to bother and he deems Flatpak good enough (at<br>
least for Linux folks). Additionally, the amount of work and changes<br>
needed cannot really be broken down into smaller commits that won't<br>
break the build or runtime in the meantime, at least not conceptually.<br>

So has FreeBSD ports, in the quest to remove everything Python 2-only<br>
(chiefly for CHIRP, pygtk2) before Python 2 itself gets removed by the<br>
end of this month/year. Spoiler: I contributed the last update before it<br>
was removed, despite another pending update I submitted based on the<br>
existing py3 branch. Said pending update is only a stopgap, however.<br>

It's more than a few driver iterations behind. Drivers are *the* sore<br>
point in fully realising Python 3 support. Converting them to work in<br>
Python 3 (apart from correcting syntax that would otherwise preclude<br>
CHIRP from launching at all) involves far more than running 2to3.<br>
<br>
Although there's a rudimentary wxPython 4 GUI in the py3 branch, it's<br>
really incomplete compared to using pygobject's pygtk shim. And even<br>
that has some issues with certain dialogs not working (import and export<br>
come to mind), but at least it's better than wxPython 4 right now.<br>
