Re: (gnuradio3.8) module 'gnuradio.blocks' has no attribute 'message_sink'

[Marcus Müller]

So, the old msg_queue infrastructure of GNU Radio has been removed, yes.

A suitable replacement are the asynchronous message passing blocks.
Depending on your use case, the conversion of your code should be
relatively straightforward - the message debug sink might even do what
you want.

Best regards,
Marcus
