[chirp_users] This is exactly what I'm talking about...

[Bruce]

First off, I want ALL the user accounts (all me) to be able to access
chirp, If I'm logged in to my GMRS account I want to use chirp to
program THOSE radios, if I'm logged in under my Amateur Call I want
to use chirp THERE to program my Ham Rigs...  And have the associated
data files available THERE...

After reinstalling Py3.9 a couple times I FINALLY got chirp
to install, but not without complaining about the out of date pip util.
So I followed the instruct on how to upgrade that, and v21.3.1 is STILL
being used.  <sigh>  Even though the upgrade to v23.3.1 succeeded.

So I tried the install of chirp under another user and got an
OSError Permission failures, so I 'sodo'd it and THIS is what I got...

C was SO much more straight forward...
WTF is 'testresources' ?!
Tried it in a 'virtual environment' first and we know how THAT worked...
And I *DID* upgrade pip you daffy computer !!!
And WHY is there any "uninstalling" going on !?!?

I guess if a Python is going to kill it's prey,
it needs to confuse it first...

Like I said, I think I'll stick with the old version of chirp,
if what I've done here hasn't totally FUBAR'd that up...
