[Discuss-gnuradio] ImportError: cannot import name QObject

This issue started Thursday (8/16/2018) after I performed software updates via macports. While running gnuradio-companion, I run my code (which was running fine for weeks) and now get this error:

Executing: /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python -u /Users/georgerykowski/Documents/GNUradio/TCM_with_ENG_2MS.py

    from PyQt4.QtCore import QObject, pyqtSlot

ImportError: cannot import name QObject

 

>>> Done (return code 1)

 

When I try running another program, I get this error:

    from gnuradio import qtgui

    from range import Range, RangeWidget

    class RangeWidget(QtGui.QWidget):

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'QWidget'

 

>>> Done (return code 1)

 

The error appear to occur in the GUI code. A colleague of mine updated his code and the same issue appeared, so I suspect others have seen this. Have others seen this, or similar issues? If yes, is there a workaround? Am I bringing the issue to the proper discussion forum (e.g. should I go to a Python group)?

 

I am running MacOS 10.13.6

 

Thank you
