But it's not unfortunately. 2.7.18 was just a re-release of 2.7.16 from 4 Mar 2019. 2.7.18's only purpose was to share the first few numbers from Euler's constant. (silly programmers) https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-...@python.org/thread/OFCIETIXLX34X7FVK5B5WPZH22HXV342/ https://ra

Remember Python is open-source. Although the primary development team has moved on to focus on Python 3, other developers who continue to maintain and support Python 2 because of the many apps that require the older version. Larry AC8YE On Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 10:09 PM Nigel A. Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF

It's listed under Active Python Releases and the latest version 2.7.18 was released April 20th 2020. That makes it still current and supported. > On 20 April 2020 at 20:46 Tom Consodine wrote: > > > If it's under development then why does it say this? > 2.7 Maintenance status end-of-life Fi

I will let the more seasoned devs chime in but chirp isn't dead! Only Python2 :( Chirp is cross platform so the same code works on Linux, Mac and Windows. I know Dan was working on deprecating PyGtk in favor of WxWidgets and there are at least 2 active contributions that I know of (1 driver impr

Sorry, That was a typo. Python 2 is discontinued. I read something about Fedora dropping Python 2 also. Is CHIRP dead now as far as Linux development? Tom ND5Y ___ chirp_users mailing list chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com http://intrepid.danplanet.com

Nobody's forcing you to "update" to 20.04, especially as there's nothing wrong with the LTS version and 20.04 doesn't do what you need. Just revert back to the previous version. > On 20 April 2020 at 18:57 Tom Consodine via chirp_users > wrote: > > > Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be released in a f

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS will be released in a few days. I installed the beta version of Xubuntu to see how it works. Ubuntu has dropped Python 3 and the old repo version of CHIRP. The chirp-daily Linux tarball will no longer run locally because of Python 2 no longer being available. A lot of people using

Hello Stuart, ICOM ID-1 is D-STAR radio, CHIRP doesn't do digital radio, or make code plugs. I searched with google and I can't find anything that does. The ID-1 downloads are here: https://www.icomamerica.com/en/downloads/default.aspx?Category=94 73 DR N1EA On Mon, Apr 20, 2020 at 11:11 AM I

Dan, et alia: I have an ICOM ID-1 radio and the software that ICOM provides for it is "operating software" not programming software. Does Chirp support the ID-1 and if not, how difficult would it be to add support? I can send in a personality file for the ID-1 if that helps any. Thanks in
