[chirp_users] MacOS 12.3 question
Hi,
I have a MAC M1 chip laptop run in MacOS 12.3 which has removed python 2.7. I am a new chirp user. I have performed the steps in the tips for macOS. When I try to run chirp it displays an error that it can’t find a file for python 2.7. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
Unfortunately right now there isn't. CHIRP is coded with Python 2, which has been EOL'd for some time now, until development gets it migrated over to python3 (which, while they are working on, has no ETA in sight) the only solution is to not upgrade to Python 2. This affects more than just MacOS 12.3 as many Linux distributions drop support for Python 2 as well. It's a shame that we are all affected.

Hi,
With Dan’s advice, I was able to install python 2.7 on my MacBook macOS 12.3 and was able to run chirp. macOS tips page has been updated with that information for MacOS 12.3.
Thanks,
Steve
