Hi, I had presented "From Python to Silicon: python-myhdl" talk at PyCon India 2011, September 16-18, 2011 at Symbiosis, Pune, India. The first day of the (un)conference was filled with tutorials. I attended the "Functional Programming with Python" talk by Anand Chitipothu [1]. He had illustrated list comprehensions, recursions, higher-order functions, iterators and generators in Python with numerous examples. On the second day, I attended the keynote by Raymond Hettinger on "What Makes Python Awesome" [2]. It was a very informative talk illustrating the key characteristics of Python, and the community that surrounds it. I also attended the "Python on Android" [3] talk by Sajjad Anwar, who gave simple examples using android-scripting [4]. The "Emacs as a Python IDE" [5] talk by Noufal Ibrahim had useful tips and tricks on using Emacs for development work, and issue tracking using org-mode [6]. I also attended the "Decorators as Composable Abstractions" [7] by Sidhant Godiwala which was an introduction to using decorators in Python. On the final day of the event, I attended "Network Programming with Umit Project" [8] by Narendran Thangaranjan who gave demos on network protocol implementation, and testing in Python using the Umit project [9]. Jivitesh Singh Dhaliwal gave a demo of using PySerial to control robots in the "Python in the Real World: From Blinking LEDs to Advanced Robotics" [10] talk. My presentation slides are available [11]. Thanks to Christopher Felton for his valuable feedback. Few photos taken during the event are available at my /gallery [12]. python-myhdl is available in Fedora.
