[chirp_users] Chirp On Puppy Linux

[John KB2SCS]

Thank you Jeffrey Stuart Martin Dave B Jim
For your help with my problem. The flavor of puppy Linux I am using is the
Ubuntu derivative called Fossapup.
Puppy does not have the apt command. In order to install libraries/packages
you use the puppy package manager to search and install packages from the
Ubuntu depositories. I think I have installed all the libraries I need.

I would like to run chirp from the command line with the following command.
Python3 Chirpw.py
Or
Python3 chirpwx.py

Which ever is the new file name. In the  chirp-20230328.tar.gz
file that I downloaded and extracted does not have chirpw.py or chirpwx.py

Is it no longer possible to run chirp via the python interpreter  running
the source code like you were able to run the legacy python 2 version of
chirp?

Again thank you all for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Best regards
John
