[Discuss-gnuradio] Proposal for change of connect arguments

[Thomas Traber]

Instead of typing

>   connect(src,bandfilter)
>   connect(bandfilter,hilbert)
>   connect(hilbert,real)
>   connect(real,dest)

I would prefer

>   connect(src,bandfilter,hilbert,real,dest)

As I don't know how to handle variable
length arguments in python I tried it
with a list:

>   connect([src,bandfilter,hilbert,real,dest])

Here is the diff for basic_flow_graph.py using an optional list:
