Since I am mostly confined to home due to the restrictions caused by the virus outbreak, I decided to up grade my Linux system from Fedora 30 to the current version which is Fedora 31.
After the upgrade, Chirp and a Solitary game which is written in Python no longer worked so I upgraded to the new beta version Fedora 32. This morning, the developers released an update which included many Python changes which fixed the Solitary game but sadly, not Chirp.
So, maybe the Chirp developers will have the answer. Here is the output of starting the 20200227 Chirp version with -v:
[fred@m5a97r2 chirp-daily]$ ./chirpw -v Traceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 20, in <module> from chirp import chirp_common File "/home/fred/chirp/chirp-daily/chirp/chirp_common.py", line 979 except errors.InvalidDataError, e: ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax [fred@m5a97r2 chirp-daily]$
The ~/.chirp/debug.log entries are dated 2020-03-14 which are from a Chirp run before upgrading from Fedora 30.
A bit of an aside: Is this a Python issue in Chirp or a missing Python 2 file in Fedora 32? I notice that when the command "dnf list --installed | grep python" there is a python3.x86_64, but the python2 file is named python27.x86_64. There is no python2.x86_64 file but there is in Fedora 30 a file python2.x86_64. Although, the which command shows both a /usr/bin/python3 and a /usr/bin/python2 file exist in Fedora 32. There are several link files in /usr/bin/ with python names that seem to be new additions and probably sort all that out though.
Thanks for the help.
Fred
