[chirp_users] Trouble getting started
Would like to try out Chirp, but...
sj@Tux-Port:~/chirp-daily-20121116> ./chirpw CHIRP daily-20121116 on Linux - Welcome to openSUSE 10.3 (i586) - Kernel %r (%t). (Python 2.5.1) Traceback (most recent call last): File "./chirpw", line 103, in <module> from chirp import * File "/home/sj/chirp-daily-20121116/chirp/detect.py", line 19, in <module> from chirp import kenwood_live, icomciv File "/home/sj/chirp-daily-20121116/chirp/kenwood_live.py", line 272 class THD7Radio(KenwoodLiveRadio): ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax sj@Tux-Port:~/chirp-daily-20121116>
I'm not sure where to start. I know just enough about python to be dangerous (but not enough to do anything useful).

Try upgrading to Python 2.6 or 2.7.

Try upgrading to Python 2.6 or 2.7.
Yeah, 2.5 is really old at this point and lacks some of the now-basic features of python that Chirp requires. Note that this likely means a distro upgrade. Installing python from source or other packages is likely to turn into a large string of dependency-chasing exercises that you probably don't want to start.
Thanks.

It's worth noting that you CAN localize newer installations of Python say, /usr/local/python2.7 and leave your regular distro's Python alone. When you want to run Chirp, you'll just need to start it via your desired python like:
/usr/local/python2.7/python /path/to/chirp/chirp.py
I had to do this on Centos5 and it worked well.

Thanks. I installed Python 2.7.3 from source, this afternoon. It said it compiled OK, although it warned of a handful of modules that didn't compile.
Chirp complained it couldn't fine gtk. I want to spend some time looking at the fresh python install before I bug you guys too much.

Indeed, you'll need pygtk installed as well.
