I don't mind having a namespace for core stuff either but then maybe
it should have like gnuradio.ext.module_name or something and make it
coherent between include/c++ namespace/python.

Else you end up having to include some "gnuradio marker" in the module
name to make sure it doesn't clash with general python stuff or
general include stuff.

I actually only realized that oot were still not under some "gnuradio"
separate path when converting a module this weekend and since I guess
a lot of OOT module are going to get ported soon, now would be the
right time.

Cheers,
