I also, for this kind of things that seems to be coming out once in a while, tend to start from AST and a "pretty printer". This has limitations since AST doesn't give you type informations (not that it matters much for Python) but it's good for a "first pass" of translation.
Here is my latest attempt, prompted by this thread: https://github.com/raff/gopyr. The initial implementation was in Python, but then I found https://github.com/go-python/gpython, and I decided to rewrite it in Go. Not completely done yet. Next big thing would be making object methods real object methods (easy, just need to get it done). Then I would like to move nested classes or nested function to the outer scope. And then, I am not sure of far I should take. I did list and dict comprehension, as anonymous function. But should I do generators ? (anonymous function returning a channel fed by a goroutine ?). Certainly feasible but at what point would it be better to just leave the code as is and let the human write idiomatic Go ? -- Raffaele On Thu, Oct 4, 2018 at 2:25 AM Eric Raymond <e...@thyrsus.com> wrote: > > > On Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 4:26:44 AM UTC-4, Peter Waller wrote: >> >> My approach is a bit different, and works by printing the Python AST in >> Go.
