Re: GRC 3.8 Output language Py2 or Py3 (Windows)

Ha! Don't get me wrong, it's awesome you're using Windows.

Now, I don't think Geof came around to building a Python3 GNU Radio, so
you're out of luck for now. You could try your hands on doing that
yourself – follow the link to the Github repo with the source building
scripts – but I'd doubt it's easy :(

Alternatively:

Use WSL to run GNU Radio 3.8 on Ubuntu 19.04 or 19.10[1] under windows,
then install GNU Radio 3.8 [2]. Install an X server for windows. 
I've had a student that did that and used VS Code on windows to target
his WSL installation, it worked well.

Or, really, just install a modern Linux (eg. Ubuntu 19.10, Debian)
natively or in a VM for now :)

As of now, there IS concentrated efforts to improve the windows
situation, but to be honest, it's a strange and confusing and
frustrating world for a lot of us, and I don't even have a single
Windows machine...

Best regards,
Marcus
