Python for System Verilog testbench

[Bobby]

Hi George

WOW!  thanks for the reply and specially thanks for using the word 'BDD'. I
read the articles regarding BDD the whole day and understood the concepts.
Now will get this Pytest test framework with pytest bdd plugin. I found out
it follows this Gherkin syntax. Then I read about this Gherkin synatx. It
also looks good specially for Verilog. Maybe the syntax I was following
earlier is too complicated.

Some more questions regarding this:

- I read that there are other Python framweorks also
for BDD like 'behave'. What do you suggest as a beginner is Pytest-bdd is
easier or 'behave' ?

- If I am able to successfully map the requirements in pytest-bdd following
this Gherkins syntax, in the end what we get is Python code. To proceed
further, will I have to use Python to Verilog parser for the final Verilog
kind of structure?

of grammar, I would like to give the requirement input to the grammar.
