Sorry, but I'm not a python developer. In fact I don't like python and the
problem we're discussing here will don't help me to use python ... ;)
I'm trying to use the tar.gz from chirp website but it complains about libxml2
dependency (python3-libxml2 is installed on my system).
And if I well understood there is a dependency problem with pygtk which has
been removed from debian.
BR,
gpe
