why the intbv -> int conversion here? Just for using bitwise representation?

Although I can reproduce your example in some test-cases, I can't use it
in my project...

I use two approaches here. First is to create a instance of the class in
the __init__.py. Then I will get a

> Local variable may be referenced before assignment: ProcMode

When I create the instance directly in my myhdl-method, I will get

> Free variable should be a Signal or an int: ProcMode


The advantage of having the enum over, that you can use it directly in a
Signal, e.g.

> mode = Signal(ProcMode.User)

currently, it will complain about not havin the bitsize (I have set it
manually, which will work fine)

I'm not happy about the solutions yet, altough I really appreciate the
help I'm getting here (thanks!), but in my eyes, I just want to solve a
simple problem. Has never anyone encountered this and made some
thoughts? :/
