<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hey Folks,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm working towards understanding python and one of my hopes is to convert an internal program from VB6 to python. Partialy to learn python more, and partialy because VB6 is a dead language and partialy because I am trying to encourage the use of open source solutions.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am wondering if anyone out there has personal experience converting VB6 code to Python code.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I have come across some old and defunct projects that created scripts and such.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Unfortunately this often relies on complete separation of logic from GUI. Unfortunately the software was inherrited and secondly I am not that good of a programmer to know how to separate the two all the time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">MY DREAM:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In an ideal world I would like </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* the code and logic to be python</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* The GUI to by Gnome 2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* I would like to use the GLADE Gui toolkit (and libs) for the GUI.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">* I would like to avoid a code rewrite.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any experience or insight would be great.</FONT>
