Hi gpe,
Continuing to use Python 2 without any security support is also not a
good choice. We will not be revisiting the Debian transition [1] for
this package, so if you are keen to have the latest chirp available in
the latest version Debian, you can help by working with upstream on the
Python 3 support [2,3,4].
Of course you are free to compile chirp for yourself locally and run it
with any Python interpreter you like.
Cheers,
