Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] grc and pyhton 2.5

[Josh Blum]

Yeah, Im here, I did it.

GRC wants python 2.5 (or above I say, but never tested). GRC is littered 
with things from python2.5 that dont exist in the python2.4, relative 
imports, some builtin functions, inline evaluation is somehow different.

Rather than become a burden on the configure, you just install grc with 
whatever python gnuradio gets configured with. If its most systems, 
python 2.5, it works, if its python 2.4, then nothing is hurt, grc just 
dont work too well.

doing a configure option to disable grc in the case of python2.4 is not 
too hard. Making it work with 2.4... thats another thing
