Description Stefan Seefeld 2012-01-19 13:45:05 UTC
Description of problem:

example code from gnuradio-examples uses code that is no longer valid. For example, running `python /usr/share/gnuradio/examples/hf_radio/radio.py` yields 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/gnuradio/examples/hf_radio/radio.py", line 19, in <module>
    from gnuradio import blks
ImportError: cannot import name blks


It appears the "blks" module was valid in a previous gnuradio version, but is no longer part of gnuradio.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2012-01-20 13:29:07 UTC
It seems not to be easily fixable. It is broken in gnuradio-3.4.2. Upstream rewrote it for gnuradio-3.5, but switched to uhd. I cannot upgrade to gnuradio-3.5 in f16, thus I tried to backport it to gnuradio-3.4.2. But unfortunately I have no testing HW here, please test the experimental build and let me know the results:

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-14 02:04:08 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
