What is your PYTHONPATH?  I suspect you've got a stale install
somewhere on the path and that you are picking up at least part of
that.  I suggest removing all gnuradio stuff found anywhere on
PYTHONPATH and doing a "make install" again.

There's a problem in your install.  Thinking that hardcoding
make_format is OK is just papering over a symptom of a bigger problem.

Eric

gnuradio is in only one place on my Pythonpath. I deleted it and reran 'make 
install' in gnuradio-core, gr-usrp, and gr-wxgui. Reran usrp_fft.py and it 
still chokes on the make_format call.

Is there another function that I can test?

Is it possible that my swig isn't wrapping the function correctly?

I don't want to take up a lot of your time on this. I'm collecting 16MHz, 
8-bit data presently so I'm fine for now.

Thanks
