Is Ubuntu 16.4 the latest that works well with
Chirp?
I may stick with that if there are problems with
Chirp and the OSs that use Python 3.

Subject: Re: [chirp_users] Ubuntu 20.04: no installation
candidate
I've been trying to get the py3 branch to work, but it seems to not be
stable, as there are still many syntax errors. Once I got chirpwx running I
tried to clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to clone: Failed to communicate
with radio: can't concat str to bytes", but there's no stack trace or anything
to tell me where the error is occurring and "Failed to communicate with radio"
occurs in many modules.
It's sad to such a good piece of software fall into such disarray. It's not
in the default debian, ubuntu, or fedora repos anymore, nor do the installation
instructions on the website work.
Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to dig into why the
cloning is crashing. I see
https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/495
but I don't know if I'll be duplicating work of if I can help in any other
way.

Hi
Pat,
