<br>
</div>That has nothing to do with it. If you can't also install a python 2<br>
runtime, then you need to get a different distro. Python 3 is part of<br>
the standard install of Ubuntu too, but they also include a Python 2<br>
runtime because so many things still require it (anything that uses<br>
pygtk, for starters).<br>
<div class=""><br>

<br>
</div>No. Python 3 is not compatible with Python 2, and PyGTK will never be<br>
ported to Python 3. Making CHIRP support Python 3 will require a<br>
substantial rewrite of its entire UI to use the new bindings. It will<br>
happen someday, but not any time soon.<br>
<br>
Google for "python 3 pygtk" and you'll see a lot of similar confusion.<br>
<br>
Looks like all you have to do is install the python2 package in Arch:<br>

<br>
...and as I said, arrange for chirp to be run by /usr/bin/python2<br>
instead of /usr/bin/python.<br>
