Hi Dan.

FYI, I followed the instructions https://chirp.danplanet.com/projects/chirp/wiki/DevelopersPython3Environment#Linux and I'm getting a similar error.

The Linux instructions fail at first, so I checked out the py3 branch like the Windows instructions on the same page give. Then I can run the chirpwx.py file.

then i get the following error.

[boucha@esqueleto chirp (py3 u=)]$ ./chirpwx.py
Gtk-Message: 16:55:54.177: Failed to load module "xapp-gtk3-module"
Traceback (most recent call last):

with wx.FileDialog(self, _('Open a file'),

I'm on Python 3.10.6 on Ubuntu 22.04

[boucha@esqueleto chirp (py3 u=)]$ python3 -V
Python 3.10.6

Gah, sorry, I forgot @vishwin introduced Path to our platform module here:

https://github.com/kk7ds/chirp/pull/196

I'll need to go dig into that to see if we should be doing something else. Perhaps you're on an older python and importlib_resources behaves differently than my native one in python 3.10. So yeah, let me know which macos you're on and where you got python (and which version) so I can try to narrow it down.

PosixPath can be str()'d to get just a path string, so perhaps that's all we need to do there.
