    Neither of those is a hardware implementation of Python.
"Python on a chip" is a small Python-subset interpreter for
microcontrollers.  That could be useful if it's not too slow.

    Sheffler's software is a means for controlling and extending
Verilog simulations in Python.  (Often, you're simulating some
hardware at the gate level which interfaces with other existing
hardware, say a disk, which can be simulated at a much coarser
level.  Being able to write the simulator for the external devices
in Python is useful.)
