The bpsk mapper has been removed in 3.6. It was only used in this one
file but was replaced by the more general ofdm_mapper_bcv. You can
probably easily patch this Python file to use the new one pretty
easily. But I also wouldn't spend a lot of time on that one, the
benchmark scripts are more interesting and useful.

Those gr_apps don't get too much work. I didn't know anyone actually
used them. They were mostly a stop-gap while switching over to the UHD
and are based on v3.5. What you're having issues with is probably just
due to importing the module. Try changing the line to use the digital
module (digital.ofdm_mapper_bcv).

There is some duplication of work in 3.6 as we're moving over to 3.7.
The OFDM stuff right now exists in both gnuradio-core and gr-digital.
It's a bit messy, but a necessity due to the major changes.

It'd still be a good idea to clean out your installation and
reinstall, especially if you had a 3.5 version installed before.
