Hey folks,

      Does anyone have any information regarding the status of Python 3
      support? It appears that the `py3` branch has not had any new
      commits for 6 months now. After following the instructions here:
      https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/Linux_Python3, I
      see the following errors (on Ubuntu 20.04):

      ```
