C/C++, Perl, etc. to Python converter

[Michael]

Yes, I konw what you mean. And thats the right way to do it - for 
beginners. --But not for someone who allready know programmings things 
for many years.

They ask themself: How can I do this in Python? I can remember, it was 
that-way with Perl or C or C++ or whatever.

So, not only a ververter can be useful, also a translation table.
(Maybe just a table for print out.)
