So, I have been using a downgraded version of GNURadio for some time to  
prototype, but now would like to use it for the BladeRF. Problem is  
though,  
the upstream version of gnuradio in the Arch repo seems to have an issue  
with wxgui. I am not the only one who has dealt with it, there is a bug  
report here. Any ideas on how to patch this?

This isn’t a gnuradio bug; sounds like something changed in Arch  
(notice the change in version is from 3.7.2.1 to 3.7.2.1-1; so that’s  
their patches to our 3.7.2.1 release that’s causing the issue). Most  
likely, it’s somehow related to the location or discovery of the wxgtk  
Python package.
