First off, I want ALL the user accounts (all me) to be able to access chirp, If I'm logged in to my GMRS account I want to use chirp to program THOSE radios, if I'm logged in under my Amateur Call I want to use chirp THERE to program my Ham Rigs... And have the associated data files available THERE...
After reinstalling Py3.9 a couple times I FINALLY got chirp to install, but not without complaining about the out of date pip util. So I followed the instruct on how to upgrade that, and v21.3.1 is STILL being used. <sigh> Even though the upgrade to v23.3.1 succeeded.
So I tried the install of chirp under another user and got an OSError Permission failures, so I 'sodo'd it and THIS is what I got...
C was SO much more straight forward... WTF is 'testresources' ?! Tried it in a 'virtual environment' first and we know how THAT worked... And I *DID* upgrade pip you daffy computer !!! And WHY is there any "uninstalling" going on !?!?
I guess if a Python is going to kill it's prey, it needs to confuse it first...
Like I said, I think I'll stick with the old version of chirp, if what I've done here hasn't totally FUBAR'd that up...
