     * \brief Source that streams T items based on the input \p data vector.
     * \ingroup misc_blk
     *
     * \details
     * This block produces a stream of samples based on an input
     * vector. In C++, this is a std::vector<T>, and in Python,
     * this is either a list or tuple. The data can repeat infinitely
     * until the flowgraph is terminated by some other event or, the
     * default, run the data once and stop.
     *
     * The vector source can also produce stream tags with the
     * data. Pass in a vector of gr::tag_t objects and they will be
     * emitted based on the specified offset of the tag.
     *
     * GNU Radio provides a utility Python module in gr.tag_utils to
     * convert between tags and Python objects:
     * gr.tag_utils.python_to_tag.
     *
     * We can create tags as Python lists (or tuples) using the list
     * structure [int offset, pmt key, pmt value, pmt srcid]. It is
     * important to define the list/tuple with the values in the
     * correct order and with the correct data type. A python
     * dictionary can also be used using the keys: "offset", "key",
     * "value", and "srcid" with the same data types as for the lists.
     *
     * When given a list of tags, the vector source will emit the tags
     * repeatedly by updating the offset relative to the vector stream
     * length. That is, if the vector has 500 items and a tag has an
     * offset of 0, that tag will be placed on item 0, 500, 1000,
     * 1500, etc.
