PyGears 0.1.2 released¶

Features¶

Add support for user configuration .pygears.py files that are loaded at startup. These files can be local to the project or located in ~/.pygears.py and active globally.
Registry paths can be accessed by Unix path strings (e.g. logger/svgen/print_traceback), take a look at registry
Wildcards can be used in registry paths, e.g. logger/*/print_traceback
Add support for user configuration files in JSON and YAML formats
Loggers are organized better and are configured more easily. Checkout docs for Logger
Added generation of Questa run script in SystemVerilog generation subsystem
Added Python implementation for the following gears from the gear library: accumulator, clip, iceil, max_gears, qlen_cnt, reverse, take, tr_cnt, unary and valve
width_reductor is now version of serialize gear when active field is supplied
Gears can now be scheduled multiple times within forward/backward phases, which handles the problems with fictive cycles in simulation graph when multiple gears are combined to be simulated in external RTL simulator.
Output interfaces are now named after the returned variable names in hierarchical gears

Move infrastructure modules to conf subpackage.
Allow for modules to specify callbacks to be triggered when their configuration is changed in registry
Module err.py has been removed and its functionality has been moved to trace.py

Fix __str__ for generic Queue and Array.
Correct unpatch-ing of PDB when trace/level is set from TraceLevel.user to TraceLevel.debug
Fix clashing between class and instance methods Tuple.replace
Turn-off pretty sieve naming by default since it creates performance issues for large designs
Make importing of yaml package optional, since the package doesn’t come with Python and needs to be installed separately.

Document PyGears registry.
typing/tuple documented.
Separate pages and additional documentation for typing/integer, typing/uint and typing/int types.
Document drv gear.
