Richard,

thanks for giving it a try. Appreciate any feedback!

If you're installing into /usr/local, then yes, but you shouldn't be
doing that. PyBOMBS is most useful when you install GNU Radio (and
dependencies) to custom locations.

Same answer. If you install to something like ~/prefix/maint and
~/prefix/master, and use the maint and master branches respectively,
only the currently activated prefix will be active. You can even run
them at the same time.

If you're installing to /usr/local or /usr or something like that,
you'll probably run into problems.
