Given the presentation is mainly code snippets, there isn't much 
feedback to give other than: If the code snippets are incorrect or a 
suggestion for a better code snippet.  Neither I found or have.

I notice you have an hour for this presentation, I presume there will be 
a fair amount of dialogue accompanying the slides.  The topic I believe 
is interesting to this crowd is *why*?  Why is Python suitable for an 
HDL and why is it needed?

And this is where you start, illustrating generators and decorators. 
The Python flexibility and generality to become an HDL.  Additional 
information is available on Jan's "why" page, http://goo.gl/hoUKk.

Good luck, sounds like fun.  I believe someone presented MyHDL at 
pyIndia 2010 as well, http://goo.gl/FNm8P.

Penny short today, so this is my one cent opinion, which are mine and 
don't reflect the opinions of others (individuals or organizations) I am 
involved with.
