No, it doesn’t.

I abandoned all those changes because they didn’t have the requisite testing that would allow them into the baseline.

The only radio I have that is compatible is a Baofeng UV-5R. So far, I can’t Chirp to talk to the serial port at all. I select download, choose the COM port, and hit OK, and nothing happens.

I’m more than willing to try my hand at getting the specific driver you need working for you. Just let me know which. Better yet, file a bug: make sure you mark it PY3, so everybody knows that it isn’t a “general” issue, just one for Python3.

I have been able to upload and download to my radio in the past, but it might not have been on Windows. I know I did it on my Raspberry Pi. Maybe on Linux, too. Right now, I’m in Windows. Don’t know if I have everything setup in the 3.9 version of Python or not. Might be that I only have it in the 2.7 version, or it might be that I only have it in the installed version of Chirp. Haven’t gotten that far to look, yet.

Hello Joe,

Does this mean all of the changes you made in your personal repo are now in Dan's new Chirp Github repo?

The world has moved to Git.

 
OMG, really? I totally missed this memo. I guess we *have* to move. We
should probably all run Windows too, right? Yay monoculture! :)
 

(On a personal note, I was quite interested in working on the py3 branch

until I discovered all of the compatibility cruft, at which point I lost
interest entirely.)
 
So why are you here? Just heckling and hoping that someone else will get the
project to the point where you're willing to contribute? This is my general
hesitancy to move stuff just because someone shows up and says "If only this
project used tool X, then I'd contribute." The opinions of people who have
actually contributed meaningfully weigh much more on me than those that
haven't.
 
Moving to a new language and toolchain requires people that *have*
contributed a lot to change, it requires me to change my build environment,
and other knock-on impacts. Obviously I want it to just magically be
current, but that involves a lot of work on my part, and even though might
be great if it meant more contributors, it's still work.
 
As I said I would, just created this:
 
https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp
 
...and I will endeavor to sync back and forth between there and the
mercurial repo so that people can, for the moment, submit to either. If/when
the github side becomes the obvious default (clearly it will over time) and
we can get the current major contributors happy with it, then I can work on
making the build infrastructure pull from git and then stop the mercurial
synchronization.
 
One of the primary reasons to tolerate github, IMHO, is travis, but
unfortunately travis has seemingly abandoned the OSS people that used it
before. In just working to get the tests running in travis I burned a
substantial number of my own credits just getting it going, so at this
point, I don't think it's really an option, unfortunately. I hope that
changes.
 
For those that have set up unofficial git repos, it would probably benefit
the world if you could either mark those as deprecated, remove them, or at
least point at the above repo in a comment or something.
 
Joe, I assume you'd rather propose your patches (which I haven't looked at
yet) against the github repo. If not, let me know.
