[myhdl-list] difficulty using itertools with MyHDL

[George P. <ge...@ga...>]

Hi Jan,

    I'm having difficulty using itertools objects in MyHDL simulations. 
It seems this is the case because, from some crazy reason, the Python 
itertools objects are *not* of type GeneratorType! In fact, it looks 
like each one is its own type! (eg itertools.izip, itertools.chain).

    This causes myhdl._Simulation._checkArgs to raise an "Inappropriate 
Argument Type" SimulationError.

    I'd really like to be able to use itertools.izip() and 
itertools.chain() at least. What could be done about the situation? Is 
there anyway to "coerce" the iterools into GeneratorTypes?

Thanks,
George
