If it's a PYTHONPATH issue, no need to re-install.

Is PYTHONPATH defined in your environment? And does  PYTHONPATH include
a path for your gnuradio installation?

Type

  env | grep PYTHONPATH

Do you have multiple installs of python?

For instance, you might be using python 3 by default but pybombs used
python 2 - or some other combination - if it's a problem  it's easy to
check.

Fire up python and type

 import os
 pythonpath=os.environ['PYTHONPATH'].split(os.pathsep)
 print pythonpath
