Hardware design involves dealing with bits and bit-oriented operations. The standard Python type int has most of the desired features, but lacks support for indexing and slicing. For this reason, MyHDL provides the intbv class. The name was chosen to suggest an integer with bit vector flavor.
Class intbv works transparently with other integer-like types. Like class int, it provides access to the underlying two's complement representation for bitwise operations. In addition, it is a mutable type that provides indexing and slicing operations, and some additional bit-oriented support such as concatenation.
