pyghdl is a language server for VHDL based on ghdl. It implements the Language Server Protocol. The server is implemented in Python (3.x) but relies on libghdl for parsing. It also provides a python interface to libghdl, which could be used to develop tools around the parser and analyzer. To install: 1) First install ghdl (add --enable-python during configuration). This is needed so that the libraries are available 2) In ghdl/python, install pyghdl. There is a setup.py script, so you can do: $ pip install . To install for development: pip install -e . Add --user to install in your home directory. The executable is named 'ghdl-ls'. It uses stdin/stdout to communicate with its client.
