Jim;
You don't need to download Python 2.7 from the Python WEB page, or download
the flatpak.
Its in Focals,(20.04)Repositories.
These are all terminal commands, don't use the quotes.
"sudo apt install python2" will install 2.7
"ls -ls /usr/bin/python*" will list your versions of python installed.
In my case 2.7 and 3.8

I _think_ 19.10 has 2.7 installable (and installed by default), but I
don't have a machine running that right now.
18.04 is the last LTS release with support. It's what I run on my
other laptop.

Is Ubuntu 16.4 the latest that works well with Chirp?
I may stick with that if there are problems with Chirp and the OSs
that use Python 3.

I've been trying to get the py3 branch to work, but it seems to
not be stable, as there are still many syntax errors. Once I got
chirpwx running I tried to clone my UV5R and got "ERROR: Failed to
clone: Failed to communicate with radio: can't concat str to
bytes", but there's no stack trace or anything to tell me where
the error is occurring and "Failed to communicate with radio"
occurs in many modules.
It's sad to such a good piece of software fall into such disarray.
It's not in the default debian, ubuntu, or fedora repos anymore,
nor do the installation instructions on the website work.
Are patches welcome for the py3 branch? I can try to dig into why
the cloning is crashing. I see
https://chirp.danplanet.com/issues/495 but I don't know if I'll be
duplicating work of if I can help in any other way.
