Hello Everyone,

I've been a happy Chirp user for a long time but haven't upgraded for
some time. I was previously running the TIP version back from Feb 3
2018 (chirp-hg-e3b90fa8c316) and that worked well but once I fetched the
newest version with:

wget http://d-rats.com/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/chirp.hg/archive/tip.tar.gz

Both of these newest versions give me the below errors:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 dranch dranch 21 Jul 18 19:09 chirp-tip-newest ->
chirp-hg-37a6a6d6f425
lrwxrwxrwx 1 dranch dranch 21 Jul 12 13:22 chirp-tip-newest ->
chirp-hg-061e53a8a2cc

The errors I'm seeing are:
--
$ ./chirpw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./chirpw", line 24, in <module>
from chirp.drivers import *
File
"/home/archive/Chirp/chirp-hg-37a6a6d6f425/chirp/drivers/anytone778uv.py",
line 192
for val in TONE_MAP_VAL_TO_TONE}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
--

It was mentioned by Jim Unroe to install the "future" pip package but
installing version 0.18.2 didn't help. Any thoughts?

Hi David,

Chirp is written for Python 2.7, which is why you're seeing the error.
Dictionary comprehensions were introduced with 2.7. It's possible that
you're just unlucky in trying to use a driver that uses a 2.7 feature, but
given that 2.7 is the target version, it's also quite possible that you'd
run into more problems if you worked around this one. (If you wanted to
try, google for dictionary comprehensions in 2.6, but don't be too
surprised if you hit something else shortly thereafter.)

That 2.7 is the target platform isn't well documented. There's a note in
the wiki for a Win32 dev env that says "chirp is currently written for
Python 2.7 and above", though in the same para it also says it "will
generally run on Python 2.6.x". That latter likely depends on the features
you want to use. The KK7DS Python runtime for Mac OSX, needed for Chirp on
a Mac, is also a packaging of Python 2.7.

Martin.

Hey Martin,

Good to hear from you! Hmmm.. I'm using Centos6 here and it does have
an option to put Python27 on to the side so I guess I can give that a
try. It's just strange to me that certain drivers would use Python2.7
syntax but others would be fine with 2.6 syntax. I must say, this lack
of backwards compatibility that Python has continued to show
(especially) through it's various Python3 generations is frustrating!

Thanks for the tip and I'll report back what I see.

Hi.

Firstly, although I've used Chirp for years, this is the first time I've
used this forum - please be patient with me!

I was delighted to discover recently that Chirp now supports the Anytone
778-UV - I've had one for a while, and the "other" software available for
it was rather limited.

Anyway, having downloaded the latest daily build and attempted to read the
radio, I'm getting an error message that includes the text :

"Radio version not in allowed list for AnyTone-778UV: 000: 49 41 54 37 37
38 55 56 IAT778UV

008: 01 56 31 30 30 00 00 06 .V100..."

It appears that Chirp is correctly interacting with the radio via the
relevant com port, but doesn't like what the radio tells it.

Since there doesn't seem to have been a rash of issues raised on this
subject, I didn't want to raise it as a bug report till I'd made enquiries
here.

My PC runs an up-to-date installation of Windows 10

The debug file includes the following (I've chopped out lines that don't
seem relevant!):

Your radio is reporting "V100" and CHIRP currently expects it to be
"V200". I would submit a bug report with the same information that you
provided here so the additional version can be added to the driver for
the AT-778UV.

Not really. As I mentioned, Chirp is targeted at Python 2.7. All Python
2.6.x syntax is valid in 2.7, but 2.7 adds some new capabilities. It's not
strange that someone would want to take advantage of those new capabilities
when they're available as part of the target version.

This is not really different from someone working in C++. If the target
version was C++11, any code written for C++98 or C++03 would still be fine,
but there are new features - and new syntax - that can be taken advantage
of in C++11 to make life simpler / more robust. Code written using those
new features may not compile with an older compiler.

Also, I'll note in passing that Python 2.7 was released 10 years ago, and
security updates for Python 2.6.6 were stopped 7 years ago, in 2013.

Nothing to stop you installing 2.6, 27. and 3.something to ensure compatibility. They will all reside together.
All available from python.org for free download.

It's possible that you're just unlucky in trying to use a driver that uses a 2.7 feature, but given that 2.7 is the target version, it's also quite possible that you'd run into more problems if you worked around this one. (If you wanted to try, google for dictionary comprehensions in 2.6, but don't be too surprised if you hit something else shortly thereafter.)

There's a note in the wiki for a Win32 dev env that says " chirp is currently written for Python 2.7 and above", though in the same para it also says it "will generally run on Python 2.6.x". That latter likely depends on the features you want to use. The KK7DS Python runtime for Mac OSX, needed for Chirp on a Mac, is also a packaging of Python 2.7.
