Shouldn't be segfaulting.  In fact, I've never seen it segfault on my
system.  I push those buttons all the time.

What version of wxpython are you using?

Can you track down where it's segfaulting?

Try attaching gdb to the running python after the imports but before
anything else.  See
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuradio/doc/howto-write-a-block.html#debugging
for complete instructions.

FYI, all of the python examples automatically load the firmware and fpga
bitstream.  You don't have to do anything.  It just works.
