Of course, silly me. I did purge a version of chirp but I didn't take 
notice of the version.

There's a warning and "Failed to build chirp" message in the following. 
However, chirp was uninstalled and installed again. Could there be a 
problem here?

   DEPRECATION: chirp was installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' 
method, because a wheel could not be built for it. pip 23.1 will enforce 
this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to fix the wheel build 
issue reported above. Discussion can be found at

I'll delay submitting a bug report in case I've made an error with the 
installation.
