Yes that is roughly what I meant. GNU Radio uses a lot of sub-classing--if this is the correct term. For example all blocks inherit hier_block2 which has methods such as connect for connecting two blocks together. I wondered if the instance named self wasn't being passed as a replacement for the implicit self parameter rather than in place of the pass_as_USRP=True parameter.
Steven D'Aprano also replied on this subject and if I understand him, then it would require a special syntax that is not present in the GNU Radio code.
