a different assignment behavior in HDL is your assignment does not take effect until a delta cycle of zero virtual time has passed. (did you really looked at the previous postings? :)
You need to understand that most of the people reading this are not familiar with the workings and semantics of HDLs, so that phrases like "delta cycle of zero virtual time" are meaningless word salad. We need you to tell us what this new kind of assignment will do in *Python* terms.
x = 4 should be something like x <== 4 or x := 4 (the latter has been taken by the assignment expressions though ...). Such that variable initialization (=) and utilization (<==) can be differentiated.
Since you seem to be willing to use a different syntax for this kind of assignment, my suggestion is something like x = Signal() ... x.next = 4 If I understand correctly what you want to use this for, that would be both suggestive of the semantics and entirely doable with existing Python features. -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
