I am the author of MyHDL, a Python package that turns Python into a hardware description language (HDL).
Integer arithmetic is very important in hardware design, but with traditional HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL it is complicated and confusing. MyHDL has a better solution, inspired by Python's native integer type, int. I have written an essay that explores these issues in detail: http://www.jandecaluwe.com/hdldesign/counting.html -- Jan Decaluwe - Resources bvba - http://www.jandecaluwe.com Python as a hardware description language: http://www.myhdl.org -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
