TCL Like Commands

[zigzagtx2778]

Have you considered adding functions that mimic the commands typically found in say a AMD Vivado TCL environment, such as get_modules, get_instances, get_ports, get_pins, or get_parameters There are a lot of others that could be listed, but these are the first basics that come to mind.

Obviously there are probably a lot of opinions on what should be returned. A pointer to a SyntaxNode from the SyntaxTree or a Symbol from the Compilation tree? Or potentially some other formatted structure that breaks down the basic information of the object returned, such as, in the case of get_modules, the module name, a list of parameters, ports, instances, signals, a link to the base node of the object in the syntax tree, and such.

I had not considered something like that. It's certainly doable, but you're basically just writing a wrapper for the Python API at that point with slightly different syntax. Probably not worth it since you aren't going to come up with something that is drop-in compatibility with any existing TCL scripts I think.
