Right, but I think the package is literally named "my_new_package"
"/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnuradio/" is in my PYTHONPATH;
In that directory I have the following (from make install)
_my_new_package.la
_my_new_package.so
my_new_package.py
my_new_package.pyc
my_new_package.pyo

My .i file specified the module as
"GR_SWIG_BLOCK_MAGIC(my_new_package,tx_encoder)"

As for appending to PYTHONPATH, I tried that first and got the same
error, so I figured a make install would fix it.

Is there something that I need to update a file somewhere so python
can find these?

Lastly, if I do change the new module later, is it sufficient to
simply 'make install' again (overwrite), or do I have to make
uninstall the old module before I edit it?

Thanks
