That is pretty cool. I am very eager for the outcome.


> To address your question:


It is kind of confusing. I have Gnuradio installed, so executing the 
gnuradio examples in their own directory works fine. But, from the home 
directory..it restult in:

$ python dial_tone.py
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: 

can't open file 'dial_tone.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Printenv returns exactly this:


$ printenv
PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

$ Which python

/opt/local/bin/python

Selecting version "python26" for python

The macports version is selected but the error remains the same. I am 

confused?

Thanks.

That did the trick and I now installed gnuradio including gr-wxgui and
grc, but got this warning:
{{{
*** Post-Install Message ***
Warning: python could not find the gnuradio module.

I used the "~/.bashrc" file suggested at

https://radioware.nd.edu/documentation/install-guides/mac-os-x/preliminaries,
where the PYTHONPATH was set to

/usr/local/lib/python${PYTHON_VERSION}/site-packages.

So, I could not figure out why this happened. Any suggestions?

Assuming you setup your .bashrc file exactly as found in the "Additional Login Scripts" section of that page, and MacPorts is fully installed to use its own 'python', then the PYTHONPATH should read something like:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages:/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages

where the former path is for MacPorts and the latter for GNU Radio.  If all you're getting is the PYTHONPATH you list, then I would bet you haven't selected (in MacPorts) the correct version of python.  What does "which python" return for you?  ditto for "ls -l `which python`" ... if either of those shows that the version is "/usr/bin/python" or the like, then you need to select the MacPorts' version, via (assuming you're using MacPorts' port "python26" as I do):

$ sudo port install python_select
$ sudo python_select python26

and that should do the trick.  No matter how much automation we build in, someone eventually messes with some part of it to require even more :)  Hope this help! - MLD
