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. (by UCSBarchlab)

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.

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.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing PyRTL and PyChip-py-hcl you can also consider the following projects:
myhdl - The MyHDL development repository
Pyverilog - Python-based Hardware Design Processing Toolkit for Verilog HDL
pymtl3 - Pymtl 3 (Mamba), an open-source Python-based hardware generation, simulation, and verification framework
pylog - PyLog: An Algorithm-Centric FPGA Programming and Synthesis Flow
