I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 20.04. I have installed Python2 but I'm unable to find python2-serial. Any ideas?

Some have been more aggressive (Fedora) and some less so but it looks like all the more "current" releases are actively retiring Python 2 due to it being EOL.
You can try my flatpak if you have flatpak support. I would consider it experimental but I was able to download from my Wouxun UV6D.

Thanks, Richard
I also second the flatpak model. Python-serial is just one of several things you will need to get Chirp working on newer distributions.
If you do have pip still installed you should be able to (please excuse the formatting):
Pip install https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/releases/download/v3.2.1/pyserial-3.2.1...

Darn formatting no capital letters at the start.
pip install https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/releases/download/v3.2.1/pyserial-3.2.1...
I didn't know that pip would handle unarchiving tar.gz files automatically. How cool is that?

Python2 has been dropped by many of the latest distros. You can, via the control panel, edit your software sources or directly edit /etc/apt/sources.list (you'll need to sudo) to add a previous distro into the mix.
