Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Python OOT Block Selectable Types

[Martin Braun]

You can either make this a block argument (i.e., you ask the user to
pass in numpy.float32 or whatever), or, to keep consistent with the C++
way of doing things, you can make a block argument called 'sizeof' and
then create a dict that maps sizes to numpy.<FOO> values, and use that
to set in_sig.
