First off, FPGAs requires a hardware description language and special tools to "compile" it to a logical binary file that configures the FPGA logic gates and all.

I'm curious how Python be used in this particular fashion when Python was designed as a programming language for creating software. That is different then what you are doing with FPGAs.

What exactly are you wanting to do? I am not aware of Python being used to create FPGA cores. Languages such as VHDL and Verilog are used for such purposes although I am not saying those are the only two HDLs in the world.
