Yesterday I asked a question about a failing flowgraph when connecting the copy 
block to a message source and running the flowgraph multiple times.

I'm still trying to understand what's going on, so I decided to write a version 
of "copy" in python to try and better understand things. Even though I've 
successfully written basic blocks in Python before, I am really struggling to 
make this work.

As it's implemented, it could (should) be a sync_block (and works if it is), 
but copy needs to be a basic block to handle disabled copying.

The test hangs as if "py_copy" is never passing on the WORK_DONE from the 
vector_sink. Does anyone see the error?

import numpy as np
from gnuradio import gr, gr_unittest, blocks

class py_copy(gr.basic_block):
    """A python version of the copy block for comparison testing."""
    def __init__(self, itemtype):
        gr.basic_block.__init__(
            self,
            name="py_copy",
            in_sig=[itemtype],
            out_sig=[itemtype]
        )

    def general_work(self, input_items, output_items):
        n = min(len(input_items[0]), len(output_items[0]))
        output_items[0][:n] = input_items[0][:n]
        self.consume_each(n)
        return n


class qa_copy(gr_unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.tb = gr.top_block()

    def tearDown(self):
        self.tb = None

    def test_copy(self):
        src_data = np.arange(1000)
        src = blocks.vector_source_f(src_data)
        #copy_block = blocks.copy(gr.sizeof_float)
        copy_block = py_copy(np.float32)
        null_sink = blocks.null_sink(gr.sizeof_float)

        self.tb.connect(src, copy_block, null_sink)

        self.tb.run()
        self.assertEqual(1000, copy_block.nitems_written(0))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    gr_unittest.run(qa_copy)
