What exactly do you mean by "osmosdr" ? There is a package called osmo-sdr which is for the Osmo SDR hardware. You do not need that if you want to use RTL2832U-based dongles. Then there is gr-osmosdr (note the gr- prefix), which provides access to RTL2832U-based dongles in GNU Radio. If you install this you will have both C++ library, python module and gnuradio-companion block (assuming that you have them in your PYTHONPATH etc). On my system it is installed in /opt/gr-osmosdr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ because I used prefix /opt/gr-osmosdr during compilation (default prefix is usually /usr/local) So, which one have you installed, osmo-sdr or gr-osmosdr? >> I'm wondering why you want to work in python instead of >> gnuradio-companion? > > I have gnuradio-companion installed but that looks even more unfathomable > than trying to get a python application going. > > Do you have a suggestion on how I might get something going using > gnuradio-companion? As far as I could see, the python application you referred to was generated from a gnuradio-companion file called multimode.grc: https://www.cgran.org/browser/projects/multimode/trunk/ so you can just open up that file in gnuradio-companion.
