Yep.  I went waaay off topic.  :)

Yep.

Since this HDL is already in Python, and Python is pretty darn flexible...
 Could Python fill that higher role, and perhaps be capable of doing such
end-to-end design control?  (ie, in a collection of .py files, some files
are just for describing the logic design, while others manage the resource
assignment but assisted with a few [as needed] hierarchical names from the
logic design?)
