I really don't think that's the problem. The problem is rather that
you are not listening to what people are telling you.

Ok.

Ok.

No. Stop right there. This makes no sense at all. It will never work.
If you think about it, you should understand why, and if you don't
want to think about it, you should have the respect to read the
manual that was written for you and is clear about this:

http://docs.myhdl.org/en/latest/manual/conversion.html#simulate-first

That is complete nonsense. Change your goal and use MyHDL for simulation
in the first place, otherwise stop wasting everbody's time.
