Hi,
I would like to convert symbols (1 float) into two bytes. I thought I
want to
use a gr_sync_block for that (1:1 mapping). Now I would like to do this
in
python. After looking around, trying things and reading an old thread
from
october 2006 I come to the conclusion that it is not possible to create
a
gr_sync_block and have ‘‘work’’ called in python?
The reason to use python would be to avoid having the user compile stuff
and being faster in prototyping a solution. Is there any way to do some
processing in python?
kind regards
holger

You cant make functions in python and pass them into C++. I think the
swig docs say something about this. Basically, the python functions are
just objects, they are not functions to be called when you get into the
c++ level. Maybe it can be done, but its outside the scope of what swig
covers, or at least its not simple or obvious.

Yes, make a generic hier block class that has message queues in and out,
and a thread to read data, call a work function, write the data. Now you
can override this block with your own work function and io signature and
plug it into any generic python flowgraph.
