Hi,  
I am interested in gsoc project- implementing back end compiler support for `fixbv` class. I had looked in `fixed_point` package and tested some of the example given. I also tested `fixed` datatype with abstract syntax tree package (AST). here when we create a floating point number compiler will convert it as `fixed` data type with `fixed(value, min=-4, max=4, res=.125)`. [test\_file](https://github.com/Kurus/myhdl/commit/9e15b1c07cdf61927587fcbc0d13e333913977d3). i have used python 2.7 since importing `fixed_point` package throws errors in python 3.4. I also want to know what should be next step toward the project.

with regards.
