<p dir="ltr">No, I haven't tried to port Chirp to Android, but I've thought about it. The trouble is that Chirp is written in Python so not a single line would run on Android without being ported, and further its GUI is pygtk, so would need to be rewritten for the Android GUI (not just a port). The resulting software would resemble nothing of Chirp except the concept. </p>

<p dir="ltr">This to me seems much more useful than Chirp-for-Android. </p>
