skidl.netpinlist module

Specialized list for handling nets, pins, and buses.

This module provides the NetPinList class, which is a specialized list that handles collections of pins and nets. It supports operations for connecting pins and nets in series or parallel configurations and provides access to common properties across all pins and nets in the list.
