Control: retitle -1 chirp's python3 support is incomplete

Hi,
the problem is that upstream isn't providing a version that works with
Python 3 yet. (And we cannot revert to Python 2 because the Gtk module
has already been removed.)

Changed Bug title to 'chirp's python3 support is incomplete' from 'chirp is outdated'.
Request was from Christoph Berg <myon@debian.org>

Many applications have not moved to python 3. So removing python 2 support
isn't a good choice in my opinion.

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,
tony KG7IEL

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
