PyBOMBS

Has anyone ever got PyBOMBS to work in Ubuntu 16.04?

After following the instructions from their GitHub page (https://github.com/gnuradio/pybombs/), both pip install and building from source, I'm  running into the same error when trying to run gnuradio-companion.

root@robot:/pybombs# pybombs run gnuradio-companion
PyBOMBS - INFO - PyBOMBS Version 2.2.0
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pike/prefix/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 99, in <module>
    run_main()
  File "/home/pike/prefix/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 87, in run_main
    from gnuradio.grc.main import main
ImportError: No module named main

Or...

root@robot:/pybombs# source ~/prefix/setup_env.sh 
root@robot:/pybombs# gnuradio-companion 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pike/prefix/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 99, in <module>
    run_main()
  File "/home/pike/prefix/bin/gnuradio-companion", line 87, in run_main
    from gnuradio.grc.main import main
ImportError: No module named main

It's failing to import main from gnuradio.grc.main but when I dove into the gnuradio.grc python module, main didn't exist :/. Anyone else experience this before?

Ok I got it to work now. I had to do a clean install of Ubuntu because I already had GNURadio installed via apt-get and from source outside of PyBOMS. It's buggy but it is faster when you get the hang of it.

What are you using for hardware? I'm on the fence, but I'm leaning towards the HackRF.

I have a HackRF, BladeRF x115, RTL-SDR, and a YSO. HacRF is a good choice if you want a flexible platform. :3
