Or how could I extend "ucla_symbols_to_chips_bi" to have more inputs,
such that I could have one more stream forwarded from
"ieee_802_15_4.py" to "ucla_symbols_to_chips_bi"?
For that you need to change the io_signature.
gr_make_io_signature (1, -1, sizeof (unsigned char)),
to
gr_make_io_signature (2, -1, sizeof (unsigned char)),
