Below this line is incorrect:
     even.next = True if mysum(0) == 0 else False

It needs to be:
     even.next = True if mysum[0] == 0 else False


[] brackets not () for bit-select.  The () are
for ShadowSignals and is elaboration only.

1. see above.

2. This mailing-list, #myhdl IRC on freenode, or
    stackoverflow with the myhdl tag.  In some cases
    an issue on github.

Typically creating the test like you did will help
resolve 95% of the issues.  Once in awhile, it might
simulate ok but not convert.
