FYI... I installed macOS 10.15 Catalina and Chirp will not open. I did the security thing to all it to open, but it just doesn't open. This is with the latest build "chirp-daily-20190925.app".

Should I install a 64-bit version of Python?

Thanks & 73,

It's been known for about 2 years that Apple was going to kill off all 32-bit apps. They told Apple software developers that this was happening back then. I knew about just from staying up-to-date with what's going on with Apple & their tech.

My original email was from September 24th. I knew Catalina was coming and asked if anyone of the Chirp developers were ready for this. Apparently I don't think they were/, bothered to be, or whatever. I just don't know if I should go rogue and install a 64-bit version of Python (the 32-bit version of Python is suggested to be installed for Chirp on the Mac and I'm pretty sure THAT is the culprit). But I am not a programmer or a Unix guy so that's why I've asked about installing an official version of Python (64-bit).

Hi Jeff,

I just upgraded my 2014 MacBook Pro to Catalina (10.15), and was shocked to see that none of my 32-bit software would work. Luckily, I use Windows 10 running on BootCamp on the Mac for all my radio programming software, so CHIRP was not affected for me.

Catalina drops 32 bit support for everything so you will definitely need a 64 bit python runtime. I have not used chirp on osx so I don't know if what I'm recommending even exists.

Based on https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/6103it appears that the KK7DS Python Runtime R10 is not 64 bit and won't help.

Maybe someone else has some leads on getting python2 64 bit running on OSX? (Catalina or not)
