From the project
A Python-based hardware description language for PCBs for higher-level (block-diagram / system-architecture level) PCB design through libraries of directly reusable subcircuit generators.
subcircuit generator library based hardware description language for circuit board design
Polymorphic Blocks is an open-source, Python-based hardware description language (HDL) for schematic-equivalent design of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Its library of components provide a high-level abstraction for circuit design while subcircuit generators automate the calculation of fine details. Abstract component interfaces enable these libraries to be general across applications and component vendors.
