Hmmmm,

Sounds like it’s time to upgrade python on the developer end. Hardly anyone 
uses Python2 these days. I just installed SLINT (Slackware for the blind) on my 
laptop and python2 was not included in any of the build libraries. So, I am 
going to have to find python2 and install it as a secondary just to get chirp 
working. Otherwise, I have no way to program any of my radios (no accessibility 
on the other two platforms). If this isn’t the worlds biggest hint that things 
need to be updated, then I don’t know what is (other than a 6 mile wide rock 
plummeting in from space and destroying the planet).
