@HighValueWarrior, could you gide me through to delete the Chirp config files, so that I can reinstall it again. I've tried, but haven´t been able to do so.

I am on 3.11 and it opens on my laptop so I'm probably missing something that no one would think of. Lack of a DM maybe

so, all the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt are in the PKGBUILD, so it shouldn't be that, I'm not sure what the issues would be but first I would make sure you're on python 3.11 and try rebuilding. For dhtseany, I am pretty sure I needed to reinstall yattag after the python 3.11 update (probably a problem with the yattag PKGBUILD, so I would try rebuilding and install yattag.

I am getting some neat python errors, does anyone know what this points to that I am missing?

I saw your update and tried again, now it's complaining about yattag missing even though it installed fine:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yattag'

$ pacman -Qs python-yattag
local/python-yattag 1.15.1-1
Python library for generating HTML or XML in a pythonic way.

New install of chirp-next, previously used the flatpak which I removed then I removed ~/.chirp

Installed chirp-next, tried to open the app but nothing happens, tried to launch it from terminal but it throws this module error:

[user@archbench]$ chirp Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/chirp", line 5, in <module> from chirp.wxui import chirpmain ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'chirp'

Oskar93 uninstall, delete the config files and reinstall. If you do not delete the chirp config folder before reinstalling it will not work.

I used to work until I've tried it today. When calling for the program, it seems to be loadin and then it disapears without the program been loaded. I've tried reinstaling it and keeps doing the same. Has ther been an update or is an update needed?

done, thanks.

You should use local site_packages=$(python -c "import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])") to get current site-packages directory instead of hard-coded it. As Arch Wiki said, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Python_package_guidelines#Using_site-packages

Current hardcoded locate breaks build with new python 3.11 because it included version in path.
