Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Python OOT Block on Windows

[Marcus Müller]

Hi Luke,
Well, yesno. If your python file stands alone, putting it somewhere python will find it suffices, and there are standard directories to just drop your xml file defining the GRC block representing that block.
Since 3.7.1 (I thiiiiink...) pure-Python OOTs work well without having ever been touched by a compiler. Note though that the whole installation routine depends heavily on the standard GNU Radio build environment, which will make it a bit hard to actually work without a compiler, or CMake. Personally, if you can, try to set up a proper development environment [1]-- it will come in really handy if you decide you want to build the latest GNU Radio yourself later on or if your signal processing needs demand C++ blocks at one point.

Greetings,
Marcus

Hi,

Is it possible to create an OOT module written in Python to run on windows without having to compile anything? I am hoping that I can drop a Python file and a GRC file somewhere and have them just run, seeing as Python does not need to compile anything.

I have GNU Radio installed with the Ettus binaries, so I am not using MinGW to compile from source and can't compile new blocks using MinGW.

Thanks,
Luke
