 | As a possible starting point, at least for digital circuits you might look

 | logic circuit demos. As yet there is no graphical interface but if someone
 | wanted to add one I'd be happy to assist with any integration

 Since you've mentioned GUI, I did a MIPS datapath drawing app (using wxPython)
 as a weekend exercise for a  pos-graduation Computer Architecture course.
 It is capable to draw some logical gates and other circuit abstractions.

 The code is a bit rough and should go through a major refactoring, but 
 there is a remote chance it (or parts of it) might be useful.
 It is deeply undocumented <wink>, but that can be mended.

 A screenshot can be found in http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~921234,
 and the project is hosted in http://codigolivre.org.br/projects/mipsimulator/

 cheers,
 Rod Senra
