What you probably want is a block that deframes data from an input
stream and outputs a message. GRC supports message passing blocks via
message queues. Which is a bit of a hack-around, so...

At some point I would like to figure out how to do this properly in the
gnuradio framework (there is message passing supported by the scheduler)
and get that working in GRC.

Nobody needed them, so they were not made. Please feel free to add
missing conversion blocks push up to a branch on github or something.

Well, it the generated top block is python code, so just open it in an
editor and go...

Well you can write blocks entirely in python. See the blks2impl folder
for some examples.

It doesnt really apply. Labview is a graphical programming environment.
GRC is a flow graph editor for connecting digital processing blocks.
