A simulink like editor with netlist support. Heavily borrowed from a similar project for pycontrol by Roberto Bucher http://robertobucher.dti.supsi.ch/python/ for the SUPSI university. You will find many references to supsi :) and also some remaining packages that we did not yet update or remove

The following packages should be installed on your PC

• Python 2.7+ or Python 3.5+

• Qt (see https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py)

• PySide, PySide2, PyQt4 or PyQt5

• MyHDL (best with fixbv extension, see https://github.com/imec-myhdl/myhdl)

• LateX if you want to build the pdf documentation

• our setup is based on anaconda python 2.7 and PyQt4

1. Install Spyce (checkout with git)

   git clone https://github.com/imec-myhdl/pycontrol-gui.git

2. install the dependencies with pip:

   pip install Qt.py
   pip install --user git+https://github.com/imec-myhdl/myhdl.git

   mkdir workdir
   cd workdir
   
   # create settings.py this file to make local modifications to the defaults in supsisim/const.py
   
   # link common libraries
   mkdir libraries
   ln -s ~/pycontrol-gui/BlockEditor/libraries/* libraries

To start the editor you do not need a setup/make step. You can run it can directly without installing.

cd workdir
python ~/pycontrol-gui/BlockEditor/spyce.py

cd ~/pycontrol-gui/doc
make latexpdf # or make html whatever you prefer and is supported by sphinx

manual will be in build/latex/spyce.pdf

Dangerous software, do not run as superuser, and be aware that there are bugs that could cause lost work (save as wrong filename for example). UNDO function is not implemented.
