I just noticed this evening that the uhd apps have had their “.py”  
extensions removed. Which is cool 'n all, but the old ones are left  
lying around,  
which can trip you up.

‘make uninstall’ is your friend 🙂

That only works if the “uninstall” is willing to uninstall  
artifacts from a previous build (haven’t checked if the uninstall in the  
newer Gnu Radio does this), but generally uninstall done from within a  
newer build isn’t going to uninstall artifacts that no longer exist in  
this build.

This is true. But the general practice for upgrading software  
installed from source is to ‘make uninstall’ from the current version,  
which knows what it installed earlier, upgrade the source code, then  
compile and install the upgraded code.
