My view of gratis software is that I'm grateful for what's given and the creator(s) are under no obligation to do anything. If you phrase the question differently though: would Python programmers seeking to learn digital design with MyHDL find some basic digital design tutorials using MyHDL useful, then I think the answer is yes. In other words, I think there's a large audience for "Introduction to Digital Design with MyHDL", but that's an opportunity not an obligation. d On 02/05/2012, at 22:18, Tom Dillon <td...@di...> wrote: > OK, but do you expect the MyHDL documentation to teach you basics of digital design? > > On 05/02/2012 10:22 PM, David Arnold wrote: >> >> If you already know Python, and want to learn digital design, MyHDL is attractive.
