[myhdl-list] Calling regular python code during simulation

[Matti <mat...@gm...>]

I want to do something like this:

def myfunc(data):
    return float(data)

def Int2Float(inval, outval, clock):
    @always(clock.posedge)
    def Int2FloatLogic():
        out.next = myfunc(data)
    return instances

Of course this will not pass the convertor. But I would like to use it in 
simulation, and at a later date replace the float() call with an appropriate 
vendor-supplied library. In the real example myfunc is more complicated.
Questions:
- How can I get the simulator to just execute the python code without trying to 
convert it to myhdl primitives?
- How do I tell the simulator that myfunc requires 28 clock cycles?

Thanks,
Matti
