Sounds like you're not too happy with it, I hope it's not that bad :-)

MyHDL is a pure python package, and designed in such a way that you
should be able to use anything that Python offers for modeling.
In particular, you should be able to use any number representation
from the standard library or third parties in your models.

I anticipate that you're going to ask about conversion and so I want
to stress once again: MyHDL modeling is unconstrained, but conversion
is very constrained. Conversion is limited to the few datatypes as
described in the manual. in particular, in terms of number representation,
you're limited to integers.
