Python and VHDL

Hi Slacker,

Would be nice if those pontificating had actually tried said language/tool...fair enough?

It was not my intention to pontificate, I was merely explaining the situation of many of the users of these tools, i.e., we have selected the development languages of VHDL, Verilog, and Tcl, not by choice, but by default.

I did look at MyHDL in its earlier days, and did chat with some of the active developers at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose last year. Its a cool looking project and language.

However, since I am already familiar with VHDL and writing testbenches in VHDL, I have not found any incentive to change over to MyHDL (which you can read as "old and set in his ways" if you like).

Feel free to enlighten the curmudgeons amongst this group and write a tutorial showing how to create a reasonably complex system using MyHDL (eg., one that includes MegaCore IP), or fire some ideas back and forth about how people can get started using MyHDL. Perhaps start a new thread called "MyHDL" or "Introduction to MyHDL".

Cheers,

Dave
