I'm not sure if this is still an outstanding question, but here goes...

The qa_*.py routines are written such that they expect to be run from
within the build tree with the PYTHONPATH suitably munged.
The easiest way to fulfill this requirement is to use either
"make check" or ./run_tests

All of the other stuff is written assuming that everything has
been installed.

These constraints arise from two desires:

(1) the desire to be able to run test code using non-installed
libraries and python code.

(2) the desire to have the "real" code import the modules using a path
that starts with gnuradio so that we keep python namespace pollution
to a minimum.

I'm open to other sugggestions about how to solve this problem.  There
are interactions with non-installed libtool libraries, import and
PYTHONPATH.


If you're trying to use the installed howto module, your code should
look like this:


  from gnuradio import gr
  from gnuradio import howto


If I didn't answer your question, please try again.
