[chirp_users] " Python-future package" on Mac;
Hello,
I’m having trouble with Chirp on my Mac ( 10.13 High Sierra but same problem on Mojave ) and my new Anytone AT-778UV VOX.
The radio model is not in the drop down menu. If I launch Chirp from the shell script I get this warning in the terminal;
WARNING: python-future package is not available; chirp.drivers.anytone778uv requires it
I guess this explains why I don’t see the radio entry in the menu.
I tried installing future via pip, everything appeared to work but still no luck.
Anybody encounter this problem? Any hints on where to look for a solution?
Thanks,
Craig

Any radios that require the python-future package are not supported by CHIRP on macOS because the CHIRP macOS Unified Application does not contain this package. It is my understanding that the MacOS Unified Application will most likely never contain this package. So currently your only workaround is to use Windows or linux to have support for those radios.

I have not tried this, so I don't know if it would work, but if you put the 'future' package in the right place inside the application, it seems like it should work, since Chirp is unsigned. That is, copy the 'future' package you just installed from your global Python site-packages directory to:
[wherever-you-put-the-chirp-application]/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/site-packages/
Again, I haven't tried it, but if you're willing to fiddle around a bit, you could try it and see what happens.

Hello.
And apologies for the delayed reply. I am not up to speed on this mail list.
I tried manually installing the future package in the CHIRP.app directory as suggested but no luck.
I will use a Virtual Box Windows machine for now until I can spend more time troubleshooting.
Thanks you both for the replies.
Best,
Craig
