CHIRP

Closing this.

The issue I had, which appears to be unique to me, at least at the moment, is I have several radios that enumerate as different devices. Every time I use chirp I have to change the selected device and that means scrolling all the way to the end of the list for /dev/ttyU*

There was some chat on IRC about this. We couldn't agree on an elegant solution. I have the following patched in platform.py and it works for me, but the concern is that a broken sort order might confuse users.

def list_serial_ports(self):
    """Return a list of OS files matching known patterns.

@
Each pattern is expanded and sorted, then appended
to the result. The primary point being to show ttyUSB*
before the huge list of ttyS*
"""
ports = [
"/dev/ttyACM*",
"/dev/ttyAMA*",
"/dev/cu.",
"/dev/cua0",
"/dev/cuaU*",
"/dev/term/",
"/dev/tty.KeySerial",
"/dev/ttyUSB*",
"/dev/ttyS*"]
@
available_ports = []
for port_pattern in ports:
for port in natural_sorted(glob.glob(port_pattern)):
available_ports.append(port)
return available_ports
