This is probably theoretically impossible.

A computer program can't even find out what another program does (for
instance, it can't decide if a program will finish on some input), let
alone write a program in another language that does the same thing.

It might be possible to write a program that simply converts an idiom in one
language to the equivalent idiom in the other language, but for that to work
the languages must be *extremely* similar - and Perl and Python aren't.

Even if it did work, the libraries aren't compatible.
