Subject: [chirp_users] CHIRP on py3

I see there is a py3 branch. What is the state of CHIRP on Python 3? I am intending to further improve the FT70 driver, and a pal as an FT3

which he has done some outline memory mapping work for.

...

Should we be developing against the py3 branch? Thanks. Nicolas

As distros are now dropping Py2 surely this is a must.

I maintain the chirp package for Mageia and we have already dropped Py2 in our development branch for the next release.

I maintain chirp for Fedora and it will not work as of Fedora 31 which is now in Beta.

There has been a lot of work but I'm not sure what the exact status is, however, you can track it here:

I can't figure out where the git repository is, to checkout the py3 branch.

Here's where you can browse it... Time for me to go to bed so I didn't look hard for a repository link, not even sure it's git.

I have tried to build from py3 branch but hit lots of syntax errors, mainly except and print missing brackets. (output attached)

The exception problem is quite easily fixed, see:

https://docs.python.org/3.3/howto/pyporting.html

Basically they need to be changed from:

except Exception, e:

to

except Exception as e:

The 2to3 conversion program can do this automatically or you can try your and with sed :)

Thanks, I had already created a patch to fix the except errors, but then decided it was going to be a long haul so stopped there.

I had not heard about 2to3, it worked perfectly and fixed all the syntax issues.

I then hit what appeared to be a dependency issue, but totally unrelated to Linux, so after patching that out of the sources I now have a working package which installs and runs as far as the GUI.

I will add the remaining console error messages in another mail later with news of further testing, and my current patches in case they may be useful.

Cheers, Barry G4MKT
