[Discuss-gnuradio] fftsink2.py, /prefs

[Randy Heiland]

After re-building from svn, I now get the following error when  
running this example:

.../gnuradio-trunk/gnuradio-examples/python/audio$ python audio_fft.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fft_sink_f'


Having a peek inside fftsink2.py, I replicate the first few lines in  
my Python shell and find:

In [1]: from gnuradio import gr

In [2]: p = gr.prefs()

In [3]: style = p.get_string('wxgui', 'style', 'auto')

In [4]: if style == 'auto':
   ...:     style = 'nongl'
   ...:
   ...:

In [5]: print style
auto      # 'gl', 'nongl', or 'auto'

This last tidbit seems incorrect.

I then discovered that I had a ~/.gnuradio/prefs (perhaps from a  
previous installation of a release version of GR) and I deleted it.   
BTW, this example did work OK under the release version.

I'm confused about prefs - when/how are they created, etc.   Any  
suggestions to help me run this example script?

thanks, Randy
