[Laura Arjona]

Thank you very much Josh and Maitland for your quick help,  appreciate it.

Maitland, I executed the command that you mentioned, and problem solved =D

Looking forward now to try the new gnuradio version!

Cheers

Hi Laura,

Thank you for raising this issue.  Maitland pinged me offline with the fixes he did on this issue in the Debian packages which are basically copied into the PPAs you are using with minor modifications.

I have now applied his fixes (and updated the ppa packages to the recent RC release), so the ppa cleans the byte compiled code from the installation for Ubuntu >= 19.  For Ubuntu 18 the issue still remains.  

For Ubuntu 18 - navigate to /usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/templates/gr-newmod/

and run

sudo py3clean .

This should clean the files that are causing issue.

just in case, I removed the only .pyc file I found under /usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/templates/gr-newmod/python/__pycache

/usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/templates/gr-newmod/python/__pycache__$   sudo rm *pyc

The same error occurs.

Thank you!

Thank you Maitland.

Is there a "safer" way of installing gnuradio 3.8?

Matiland - there is not such a folder in /modtool/gr-newmod.

I only have /usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/template

At this point you have .pyc files where they do not belong, since as of
just now the ppa packages are still buggy.

You can
 `sudo rm /usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/gr-newmod/python/*pyc`
and get on with life.

Hopefully the ppa packegs will be fixed soon...
