Addresses issue #9370 and LedgerHQ/app-bitcoin-new#309.
ledger_bitcoinalready ships with a copy of thebtchipmodule andbtchip-pythonis unmaintained and archived as of Oct 14, 2024.Despite
btchip-pythonno longer being used in electrum (except only for HW.1), as of the upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 with a newersetuptoolsthat is unable to parsebtchip-python, it causes an error that disables access with a Ledger (in my case a Nano S) to Electrum.For the above reasons, it seems to me that the solution is to remove the requirement for
btchip-pythondependency.I am not very experienced in coding (not experienced at all really), but I thought I would propose this pull request and have an initial attempt in amending the code to get a discussion for a solution for the issue going.
