Python Interfaces
#################
.. #
we have 2 interfaces (libghdl, dom) and a service (LSP) as well as CLI entry points.
GHDL offers two Python interfaces and a language server protocol service. All
this is provided from a ``pyGHDL`` packages with four sub-packages:
* ``pyGHDL.cli`` - Command line interface (CLI) applications.
* ``pyGHDL.dom`` - High-level API as document object model (DOM).
* ``pyGHDL.libghdl`` - Low-level API to ``libghdl``
* ``pyGHDL.lsp`` - Language server protocol (LSP) implementation and service
.. topic:: pyGHDL.libghdl
*pyGHDL.libghdl* is a low-level API directly interacting with the shared
library ``libghdl....so``/``libghdl....dll``. This is a procedural and C-like
interface.
It comes with some Python generators for easier iterating linked lists.
.. topic:: pyGHDL.dom
*pyGHDL.dom* is a high-level API offering a document object model (DOM).
The underlying abstract VHDL language model is provided by `pyVHDLModel <https://github.com/VHDL/pyVHDLModel>`__.
The DOM is using ``libghdl`` for file analysis and parsing.
.. topic:: pyGHDL.lsp
*pyGHDL.dom* is `language server protocol <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Server_Protocol>`__
(LSP) written in Python. The implementation offers an HTTPS service that can
be used e.g. by editors and IDEs supporting LSP.
