What is your PYTHONPATH?  I suspect you've got a stale install
somewhere on the path and that you are picking up at least part of
that.  I suggest removing all gnuradio stuff found anywhere on
PYTHONPATH and doing a "make install" again.

There's a problem in your install.  Thinking that hardcoding
make_format is OK is just papering over a symptom of a bigger problem.
