Hi, I just checked on my Ubuntu 18.04. It seems like that grc is using /usr/bin/python as interpreter. This is python2 in this Ubuntu version (probably other too). Check what "/usr/bin/python --version" tells you. If it tells you python 3, you changed the default python version. Change it back (it is just a sym-link or your buzz-word is "update-alternatives") or modify the first line of /usr/bin/gnuradio-companion from #!/usr/bin/python to #!/usr/bin/python2
Its just a guess, I may be wrong.
