Who cares? Why do you need updates for something that isn't broken.

If YOU install Py2, available from the

The proceedure for that has been published in detail both here and on the Chirp Facebook group several times.

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.

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.

Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to dig into why the cloning is crashing. I see
