It sounds like others have a much better idea of the state of the project than I do, so please consider me as a resource to farm any work out to. I only have Linux, a UV5R, and a TM-V7 but can ensure those work and work on the UI, RepeaterBook interface, RadioReference interface, &c

More good news....
I got this working in Windows 10 after fixing a USB Serial driver issue.
Looks like we have a working Python 3 version in Linux, Mac, and Windows. It's definitely not as good as the main branch. Missing quite a few features (like importing from RepeaterBook), but it's definitely a start.

Good news. I got this running in windows this morning.
I had to use the chirpwx.py script to bring it up.
I installed python3.9 for windows and used pip to bring in all the dependencies.
pip install pypiwin32 pip install wxpython pip install six pip install future pip install pyserial
Still working on getting a download from my radio though. Issue might be related to the fact I'm running windows 10 in a VM. Continuing to test, but it looks like we have a path forward in windows.

Hi Mark,
I'd rather not at this time. Honestly I'd like to focus on getting a working Python 3 version up and running and while cloning the main branch and uploading it to github is easy, publishing is not.
I was able to get the current py3 branch (with some tweaks) running in a few different linux distros without issue. @Nicolas Pike nicolas@jetblackjelly.com was able to get it running on his mac and was able to download and upload to a BF88s.
I'm really struggling with Windows though. I have a Windows 10 VM running, but getting a proper environment setup to test the py3 branch as it's written is proving difficult.
I can't get Python3.9 for Windows 10 to compile PyGObject. When I follow the documentation on PyGObject's site they recommend using MSYS2, but I can't get a working version of pypiwin32 (win32api) up and running in MSYS2. Kindof feels like a rock and a hard place. I might have to compile my own GTK3 libraries for Windows just to be able to publish something for Windows which is probably 90% of the user base.
If anyone has any tips I'd really welcome them. I'm continuing to submit patches against the py3 branch (https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/8545), but I'm also maintaining all my fixes on github: https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/8545
Thanks,

Hi Matthew, As I understand the maintainer is not currently working on CHIRP due to (medical?) issues, would you be interested in forking the main branch as well? There have been a number of commits but none have been incorporated since late November. Thanks, -Mark

Awesome!
Stay tuned. I'm still trying to get a working dev environment in Windows.

If you have issues with RepeaterBook that I can help with, please let me know. I am using Cloudflare and have a firewall rule that only let’s the server IP for CHIRP through. We occasionally get folks building their own programs and attempting to use the CHIRP API to funnel data to their own applications (I think). Hopefully I wasn’t blocking legit uses and testing with this project. The user agent even reported as CHIRP, but that can be faked.
I’d also like to clean up the queries a bit. Maybe expand the search criteria. CHIRP is also hitting two URL’s and we can reduce that to one.
