Skillbridge

Virtue includes support for the skillbridge library for running SKILL code in a Virtuoso session from Python. It communicates between SKILL and Python using IPC and a TCP port.

Menu

Skillbridge can be started from the Virtue menu in the library manager. Once it is running, it can be shutdown by toggling the same menu item.

Workspace ID

Virtue also provides a workspace ID that can be used to create a unique workspace for each user and project.

The workspace ID is based on environment variables and is defined as

workspace_id = “${PRJ_ID}-${USER}”

Where $PRJ_ID is the name of the current project.
