[chirp_users] New Python coming?

[Peter]

It's been a very long time for me since I looked at Mac-/anything/, but:

   Homebrew installs the stuff you need 
<https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/> that Apple (or your Linux system) 
didn’t.

brew install tdsmith/ham/chirp

... just uses Homebrew to install the KK7DS Python runtime 
<http://www.d-rats.com/download/OSX_Runtime/KK7DS_Python_Runtime_R10.pkg> 
for Mac OSX, right? Will Homebrew still install that runtime into "the 
next release of MacOS", when "32-bit executables will no longer be 
supported"?
