Perhaps the template processor is choking on a .pyc file? The solution is to remove all .pyc files found under /usr/share/gnuradio/modtool/gr-newmod (or whatever the correct path is for the modtool template directory in your installation.) If you have files like .../gnuradio/modtool/gr-newmod/python/build_utils_codes.pyc .../gnuradio/modtool/gr-newmod/python/build_utils.pyc .../gnuradio/modtool/gr-newmod/python/__init__.pyc then this is likely the trouble. In Debian, this bug is #946120 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=946120 It has been fixed in Debian's gnuradio 3.8 packages, so I am curious about how you might have ended up with this trouble. Hope that helps, -Maitland
