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

[Tony Fuller]

I'm still on Mojave, but 64-bit python2 seems to install fine with brew. And pyserial seems to install fine with pip but I can't figure out how to get libxml2 with python support using brew.

@Dan Smith, I haven't investigated how deeply libxml2 is used but would you accept a patch for using eTree?

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

Hi Jeff,

I just upgraded my 2014 MacBook Pro to Catalina (10.15), and was shocked to see that none of my 32-bit software would work.
Luckily, I use Windows 10 running on BootCamp on the Mac for all my radio programming software, so CHIRP was not affected
for me.

FYI... I installed macOS 10.15 Catalina and Chirp will not open. I did the security thing to all it to open, but it just doesn't open. This is with the latest build "chirp-daily-20190925.app".

Should I install a 64-bit version of Python?

Thanks & 73,

Can MacOS use a standard Python installation just like everyone else?
If not, the update of the KK7DS runtime is really important.  Right now it’s just a bit of an annoyance, and things are already slowly breaking.
But it will  no doubt feaster into something much bigger.

Will there be a 64-bit version of the Python app in the KK7DS Python runtime or should Mac users just update the version of Python that they're running on their own to keep Chirp working when updating to macOS 10.15?
