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.

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?
