+p) Python peripherals
+ The Python peripherals are still in the $UNB/Software/python/peripherals directory. At some time we need to move
+ these also to RadioHDL. The peripherals could be located central again or local in a src/python directory. An
+ intermediate scheme is also possible whereby the periperal is kept local but copied to a central build/python
+ directory by means of a python_config.py script. The advantage of a central directory is that the periperals
+ are grouped so that only a single Python search path is needed. The disadvantage of having a fixed central
+ location in SVN is that peripherals that are application specific also need to be located there. Another option
+ may be to use a synbolic link from a central directory to each local Python peripheral.
