Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tools for designing hardware in Python
The only maintained library I can find is magma-lang, I also found a nice simple but limited library called pyHCL.
pymtl3
- Firrtl – Flexible Intermediate Representation for RTL

Why are there only 3 languages for FPGA development?
Also PyMTL, PyRTL, and MyHDL.

Tools for designing hardware in Python
Any hardware designers here who use Python for designing hardware? There are a bunch of libraries that all seem promising MyHDL, PyRTL, PyVerilog, PyLog, PyMTL3, ... All seem to work roughly the same. Write code in Python and transpile it to VHDL/Verilog. Which of these are popular and well-maintained? MyHDL looks good but it's last release was 0.10 in 2018 and for hardware design you don't want to rely on 0.x software. Anything like Chisel for Python.
What are some alternatives?
PyRTL - A collection of classes providing simple hardware specification, simulation, tracing, and testing suitable for teaching and research. Simplicity, usability, clarity, and extendability rather than performance or optimization is the overarching goal.
myhdl - The MyHDL development repository
Pyverilog - Python-based Hardware Design Processing Toolkit for Verilog HDL
hVHDL_example_project - An example project which uses many of the ideas and features of the hVHDL libraries like fixed and floating point math modules and has build scripts for most common FPGAs
hVHDL_fixed_point - VHDL library of high abstraction level synthesizable mathematical functions for multiplication, division and sin/cos functionalities and abc to dq transforms.
migen - A Python toolbox for building complex digital hardware
firrtl - Flexible Intermediate Representation for RTL
magma - magma circuits
pymtl - Python-based hardware modeling framework
hVHDL_floating_point - high level VHDL floating point library for synthesis in fpga
