Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GRC: gee it sure would be nice if...

It would be nice. Though you can get away without the ability to embed 
custom functions. Actually, the import was the answer to that.

With the current framework, I usually suggest encapsulating logic into 
python modules or hier2_blocks, that grc will call into. Post processing 
the output is a bad idea.

Id love to see multi-line editable parameters. And to go with that a 
function block of some sort. Howabout a block that imports arbitrary 
python code from a file and writes it into the generated code? Although 
thats only one step away from the above mentioned method.

Thanks,
