Jan,

I just gave this a try but it does not work for me. I download the latest
version from the mercurial repository and then I ran the rom.py example. This
example has some docstrings and also calls toVHDL, so I figured that it would
generate a rom.vhd file which should have the docstring (as a comment?). However
there is no trace of the docstring on the vhdl output.

Is there something that I should do to enable this feature? Or am I doing
something wrong?

Cheers,

Angel
