Performance counters are now compiled in by default but not turned on. They both produce the same output, which verifies the embedded python block.
Flaky message passing unit test contained timeout not the tests job. One of the neat things you can do with gnuradio is explore different forms of analog and digital modulation. In that class, emit qt signals, to update your qt widgets. Note that all of the dpython defines must point to the same install of python, otherwise runtime errors are likely to occur.
