Description

I just upgraded to pyserial 3.0 on archlinux the other day, and this cause upload and download in chirp to fail with:

$ chirpw 
ERROR: -- Exception: --
ERROR: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/chirp/ui/clone.py", line 238, in run
    self.__radio.sync_in()

    raise errors.RadioError("Failed to communicate with radio: %s" % e)

ERROR: ----------------
ERROR: Clone failed: Failed to communicate with radio: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout'
ERROR: --- Exception Dialog: Failed to communicate with radio: 'Serial' object has no attribute 'setTimeout' ---
ERROR: None

ERROR: ----------------------------

I tested with chirp 0.4.1 and the latest as of yesterday.

So the issue is that the setTimeout API has been removed from pyserial v3 and was already deprecated in v2. Please see the thread on pyserial:
https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial/issues/66

So I suggest that chirp will adopt the suggestion mentioned in the pyserial issue.
