<p>Folks, there's lots about the Python 3 port in the list archives.
Might be a good idea to do a search.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>In particular, I remember a message a while back from Dan laying
out the challenges specific to porting CHIRP to Python 3. I don't
recall the specifics, but I think string handling/bit manipulation
of some sort was an issue, particularly relevant since CHIRP
supports a whole pile of radios that all likely misbehave in
unique ways.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I agree that Python 3 would be nice to have. Just noting that a
list archive search probably takes less time than writing a
message like this one.<br>

<span style="font-family: Menlo;">You state: "You can use Chirp on
Mac if you are pre-Catalina (due to python2/python3)." </span><span
style="font-family: Menlo;">I am very confused by the comments
you make here regarding the usage of Chirp within a macOS
environment that is based on Catalina. I just upgraded to
Catalina and would wonder why Chirp is not capable of running
there?</span><br style="font-family: Menlo;">
<br>
<span style="font-family: Menlo;">I am dumbfounded by what you
could possibly be implying by this (that no steps have been
taken to migrate Chirp to Python3). Python2's deprecation was
enunciated in 2008 and scheduled for 2015, it is 2020 now and we
are just getting to it being taken out of service. I am not
familiar with Chirp's internal programming constraints, but I
cannot even begin to imagine that over all these years the
forthcoming end of support for Python2 was outright ignored by
Dan. I've met Dan several times, he is an extremely bright
individual, what you are implying makes absolutely no sense. If
this is true, then within one year Mac users will done with
Chirp since by then (for security reasons) we will have all
upgraded to Catalina.<br>
<br>
Moreover, Brew does provide Python2 I believe (granted, I will
not run it after this year, also for security reasons absent
future updates). But, can you please disambiguate as to what you
mean by "due to Python2/Python3"?</span><br>
