[chirp_users] 64-bit Python.app for macOS 10.15 Catalina

[Jeff Zarge - K3JRZ]

It's been known for about 2 years that Apple was going to kill off all
32-bit apps. They told Apple software developers that this was happening
back then. I knew about just from staying up-to-date with what's going on
with Apple & their tech.

My original email was from September 24th. I knew Catalina was coming and
asked if anyone of the Chirp developers were ready for this. Apparently I
don't think they were/, bothered to be, or whatever. I just don't know if I
should go rogue and install a 64-bit version of Python (the 32-bit version
of Python is suggested to be installed for Chirp on the Mac and I'm pretty
sure THAT is the culprit). But I am not a programmer or a Unix guy so
that's why I've asked about installing an official version of Python
(64-bit).

Thanks & 73,

Jeff
