Re: gr_modtool in conda failing

[Ryan Volz]

Hi Jameson,

I just tried this in a fresh environment with gnuradio 3.8.2 and python 
3.8.13, and I was unable to reproduce the error. Maybe some of my 
packages were newer than what you have. Can you try upgrading packages 
to their latest versions? In other words, maybe you have an older build 
of gnuradio 3.8.2 that was fixed in a subsequent build of that same 
version number.

Or maybe this has a similar cause to 
https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/issues/5068?

Cheers,
Ryan
