Automated Translation of Java to Python
Posted by: troy Thu, 15 Feb 2007 07:58:48 GMT
I've written a tool to automatically translate Java source code to Python source code. The tool is useful, and it's already working for me as I intended. It's called java2python (clever, no?) and you can download it here.
Let me back up a bit and explain the motivation behind this. I'm the author and sole maintainer of the Python port of the Interactive Brokers API (IbPy). IB provides a default/reference Java implementation for UNIX and MacOS. This reference implementation is straight forward: it contains a Thread subclass that reads from a socket, an associated class for writing to the socket, plus a few other support classes. Conceptually pretty simple, and the initial port was actually easy (once I figured out the difference between writing data to a socket in Java and writing data to a socket in Python).

Appropriately, the audio track is "Future" by Sungirl.

Python is Goodness. KDE is Goodness. Put together, they become PyKDE, the Grand Supreme Goodness of desktop environment language bindings.
But there's a grain of sand in the jelly. Between the three, there's plenty of documentation but very little example code for PyKDE. Enter the new sampler application. Check it out:
