Hi all  
It would be very helpful to me if some one tells me how to get started  
with  
python in gnu radio.I see an entire page dedicated to python programming  
but it does not say anything about getting started.Please don’t say to  
use#!/usr/bin/env/python part  
in that page.Any link to how to get started with an example would be  
helpful.

suppose your python file is run.py.  
In terminal, just use ./run.py in the directory where the file is  
placed.

When you have the source code, every top level component (e.g.,  
gr-digital) has an ‘examples’ directory. Most of the examples are in  
Python. Some components have examples in GRC, Python, and C++, in  
which case you’ll find the Python examples in ‘examples/python’.
