Any random large chunk of Python code is not RPython at all.  You may
hit the issue of properties right now, but I can assure you that there
will be many other issues.  "Being RPython" is a property best
achieved by writing code from scratch, not by trying to convert
existing code.  It's a bit like trying to convert a Python program to
Java; it's painful, and usually better to just write the Java program
from scratch.


A bientôt,

Armin.
