<p>You don't need to download Python 2.7 from the Python WEB page,
or download<br>
the flatpak. <br>
Its in Focals,(20.04)Repositories. <br>
<br>
These are all terminal commands, don't use the quotes.<br>
<br>
"sudo apt install python2" will install 2.7<br>
<br>
"ls -ls /usr/bin/python*" will list your versions of python
installed.<br>
In my case 2.7 and 3.8<br>

<div>I've been trying to get the py3 branch to work, but
it seems to not be stable, as there are still many
syntax errors. Once I got chirpwx running I tried to
clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to clone: Failed to
communicate with radio: can't concat str to bytes", but
there's no stack trace or anything to tell me where the
error is occurring and "Failed to communicate with
radio" occurs in many modules.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's sad to such a good piece of software fall into
such disarray. It's not in the default debian, ubuntu,
or fedora repos anymore, nor do the installation
instructions on the website work.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to
dig into why the cloning is crashing. I see <a
