About time they open sourced it. Funny how it is Python according to github :)

  Python is used to generate C code from tables. Also use python to build/package/test.

  Why is that funny? Python seems like the perfect language for this kind of thing. You can see the logic with minimal noise.

    It's funny since it's not very accurate: the Python is used to generate C code from tables describing instruction encodings (that's my understanding, haven't cloned this and built it). But there is plenty of actual C code in there too, and the resulting "thing" is a C library. Python would not be as suitable as the full implementation language, since C is much more easily accessed from other languages, which is a good property for a library like this.
