A previous user, George, had explored some options with using a 
text-based timing diagram definition.  This would allow a developer to 
define a timing diagram and create a testbench (BOMK). 

That would be a useful "feature" automatic myhdl testbench creation and 
validation based on a timing-diagram.

There are some threads on the text based topic in this newgroup.

Side note, wxpython (wxwidgets) in my experience, is a good GUI toolbox 
that is supported on multiple platforms, linux, mac, widows, etc.  I 
always use the WXAgg configuration for matplotlib on linux, mac, and 
windows.
