<polemic> I still don't get why so many people believe that embedding a Python interpreter is a desirable thing to do. The methods of the pyCult are undeniably effective. ;) </polemic> I suggest that any co-processing that the simulation model needs should take place in a separate process and be accessed via typical IPC (Inter-Process Communication) methods. This would allow flexibility in the selection of the co-processing environment (e.g., Octave, R, SciPy, etc.). Given that situation, some configuration support might be in order. I would prefer a command shell for interactive exploration of the model's structure & state, and loadable scripts for configuration and automated control of the simulation. It seems desirable that the source code, syntax, and embedded executable should be light-weight and straight-forward to use, document, and maintain. This problem has already been solved. http://yosefk.com/blog/i-cant-believe-im-praising-tcl.html http://jim.tcl.tk _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list Ghdl-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
