CHIRP

Im having this issue too. Ive installed suds and still not working.

I third this notion. I have a Mac OS X 10.13 (High Sierra). No matter what I've done, I cannot get the RadioReference Frequency Database to query so that I can use it. Please advise.

Try typing this from the Terminal.app:

sudo easy_install -z suds

Then restart CHIRP.app

I would call this at least a bug that requires better documentation at a minimum.

This did fix the problem, in my MacOS Mojave.

It took almost 3 years for me to find out about using easy_install... I agree that it should be much better documented.

cannot get chirp daily to find suds-python library to query radioreference. Im on OSX 10.6.8 snow leopard have tried all the steps and terminal scrips nothing works. Also, new versions of chirp wont open.

Having the same problem -- no method of installing SUDS allowed chirp to find it. I found a workaround. The problem is that the various methods I tried for installing SUDS put it either in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ or deep inside /opt/kk7ds, neither of which are in the PYTHONPATH defined in the "chirp" launcher script. I don't know the "right" way to fix this, but the simple work-around is
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds Applications/CHIRP.app/Contents/Resources/site-packages

Also having the same problem as Les, however the work-around doesn't seem to work with the current version of Python (3.8.2).

Some actual support, or a Chirp launcher fix would be amazing.

Still receiving error message after successfully installing suds package.

Chirp can't find the suds package?

Searching for suds
Best match: suds 0.4
Processing suds-0.4-py2.7.egg
suds 0.4 is already the active version in easy-install.pth

Using /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/suds-0.4-py2.7.egg

Any updates on this?

I was able to bypass the error message and connect to the database.

I temporarily removed the 2.7 folder from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
And ran: sudo easy_install -z suds
It installed the suds package to: /Library/Python/2.7/suds-packages

That bypassed the error message.

I also tried copying the site-packages folder from: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7
To: /Library/Python/2.7/

That also bypassed the error message.

I guess the suds package needs to be in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/.

I connected to the Radio Reference database but it was unable to retrieve any memories. I don't understand any of this so I am unsure why it doesn't work. I hope we can get a solution to this.

Well there are other tickets about this that are closed that point to this... I still see after a couple years that it's not being addressed? Any ideas if this will be fixed?

On Catalina and apparently even with Suds installed this breaks.

It be nice if the dev would chime in here and at least provide an answer...

Confirming that this did solve my problem after a wasted hour of searching.
Using macOS Big Sur 11.3

I just ran into this. Since I have a different python installed and in my path by default (from homebrew), I go things to work by making sure to specify which python to use:

@sudo /usr/bin/easy_install -z suds@

Hopefully that helps the next user that runs into this.
