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).

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:
Clever Harold - The Shocking First Exclusive!
Posted by: troy Wed, 02 Aug 2006 05:16:51 GMT
Clever Harold was once an ambitious sheep, caring so much for his fellow ovis that he tried to teach them to fly free of their life of grazing before eventually being eaten.
His prospects ruined from the inevitable demise of his beloved ram brothers and ewe sisters, Clever Harold claims to have escaped and started grazing down a different road. Now he claims to be a web framework, one written in Python.
And we have the the incredible first interview. Read on dear reader, but brace yourself for graphic dialog.
