Java to Python converter?

[Martin Oberhuber]

Hi Gerhard,

thanks a lot for your answer.

The reason why I want to convert Java into Python is this:

We are selling a programmer's IDE (SNiFF+) that is written in C++ but has an
embedded python interpreter for scripting it. I'd like to write an import
filter for importing project info from an external tool.

We have a reader for the project files of that external tool, but the reader
is written in Java. If I could easily do a "no-brain" conversion from Java
syntax to python syntax, this would make the "brain-1.0" porting work a lot
easier for me.

I don't expect the Java -> Python converter to produce 100% correct code; it
should just convert the syntax (i.e. classes + methods into "def" lines,
braces {} into indentation) -- that's it.

Thanks anyway,

Martin
