Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] problem with installation of howto

[Tom Rondeau]

A quick note regarding the gr-howto-write-a-block. I reworked it a bit
with what I think is a better solution. I just wanted everyone to be
aware that previously, you would have done an "import howto" whereas
now you will want "from gnuradio import howto".

I think this naming and keeping everything under the gnuradio space
makes more sense.

Thanks,
Tom
