Here is what happens when I drag the EXEC from MACOS into Terminal:

Hi Adam,

From the error you posted %build/bdist.macosx-10.9-x86_64% seems suspiciously old, like OS X 10.9 old, which is almost 9 years old. I have no idea what %nonempty slots not supported for subtype of 'str'% means at all.

I would suggest removing suds to see if that allows CHIRP to launch again. Hopefully you installed some old version of suds using pip, in which case

pip uninstall suds

should ask you if you want to remove the suds package. Press [y] then [enter] to confirm.

Thanks for the info... I just tried this. Here is the response.

Maybe I need to uninstall Python?

is there a way to start from scratch? It worked when I first installed it, I just couldn't use RadioReference. that's where this all started from. Although, if I can't use Radio Reference with the app, then it's hard to justify even using the app. I guess it is quicker to type in frequencies than do it via the radio. Anyway... I digress... I'm just trying to get up and running.

Thanks so much.

Hey Adam,

Starting from scratch would mean something like reinstalling the OS, which I don't think is the right path.

Let's see if we can figure out where suds it located. Can you run the following in a terminal / command prompt and post back the result?

python -c 'import suds; print(suds.file)'

absolutely. Here ya go:

Hey Adam,

Ok it's installed to the place it should be (python2.7/site-packages) and I think I realized my mistake with yesterdays uninstall command. Try this one instead:

python -m pip uninstall suds

If you get an error about permissions you may need to add sudo in front of python -m to elevate your privileges.

Hope that helps remove suds.

OK here's what I'm getting. Not sure what this means. Says skipping suds because it's not installed.

Hey Adam,

Did you try without sudo? I did a quick experiment and if it was installed without sudo then that is how it needs to be uninstalled. (I learned something new today)

Sorry for so much back and forth, I appreciate your patience!

Tony

I did... I think it gave the same response. Here it is again. I just appreciate the help. I have no clue what I'm doing with "Terminal". I'll go back and forth as much as possible to just get it going. Thank you!

Hey Adam,

I see it now, you have

suds_community

not

suds

So try this command in the command prompt:

python -m pip uninstall suds_community

Alright!!! we got an uninstall! What's next?

See if CHIRP launches now :)

If CHIRP does launch then we can install the real suds package and not suds_community

OK.... Chirp opens again... great news!

I just tried to launch RadioReference and got this code:

Suds library required for RadioReference.com import
Try installing your distributions python-suds package.

Anyway to get this working? Thank you again.

To install suds, close CHIRP then try this command in the command prompt

pip install suds

Then launch CHIRP again

OK.. I'm not getting the same suds message, so that's good. However It's telling me invalid username and password. I did just login to RadioReference online, so it's the correct username and password.

What do you think?

Final Update....

Turns out I needed to use my call sign instead of username. I'm in... I'm working.

Thank you so much for getting me up and running. Maybe that "pip install suds" should be in the mac monterey help section, so people don't get confused and you don't have to deal with this top again. hahaha.... Seriously though... Thank you so much!

Adam Queen.

Hey Adam,

I'm so glad we got things fixed up.

I'll see where a good place is to add the suds install command. The same command works on Windows and Linux so we may just need a new Radio Reference wiki page.

Tony

Thank you again Tony! Have a great weekend.
