Hi Sami,

The upgrade is Python standard procedure and it depends on how you
installed MyHDL in the first place. If you have a RPM package (assuming
there is one for Ubuntu) you can just run the update process and it will
replace the old files.

If you used the easy_install, there is an update feature.

Now with the source installation (python setup.py install) I have to
admit I always did it the rough way, by removing the site-package/myhdl
folder and install the new package. I am not sure whether there is also
something like an update feature?

Cheers,
