Forum: GNU Radio grextras in "next"

Hi,

I was trying to modify some python blocks, coded using grextras, to use 
native gnuradio python block support(as grextras is a standard feature 
from 3.6.3). I checked wrappers in gr/gateway.py and gr.block, 
set_auto_consume etc seems to be missing. Current grextras suggests 
basic_block, synch_block etc are depreciated. Is grextras integrated to 
gnuradio different or am I missing something?

Hi Sreeraj,

Python-blocks in next are not identical to those in grextras.
Check the blocks-tutorial on the wiki to get an idea how they look.

Thank you Martin. My code is working fine now :).

GrExtras features seem to be so crazy but somehow slowly leak into
gnuradio over time. :-)

So, if you are referencing the grextras the wiki page, I didnt mean to
say that the grextras was deprecated. I know things change at a fast
pace, but since people are using it and I will try to keep it 
maintained.

The next branch on grextras has functionally the same blocks on the
master branch, but make use of cool features in my scheduler work. So,
Its kind of a different beast.

Anyway, Im going to keep doing awesome things. Sorry for the confusion!
