Perl to Python conversion

[Martin Schöön]

First off: I am new here and this is my first post after
lurking for quite some time.

Second off: I don't know much Python---yet.

Problem: I have come across a small open source application
that I find quite useful. It does have one major flaw though.
Its output is in imperial units. Converting isn't a big deal
for occasional use but if I start to use this stuff on a
regular basis...

So I down-loaded the source code and found this thing is written
in Perl.

Should I learn enough Perl to add the conversion? Probably
but this may be a nice excuse to get my Python education
going and if I do I might as well re-do the user interface.

If I do re-write this thing in Python I might need to learn both
Perl and Python...

Hence, are there any Perl to Python converters? So far I
have only found bridgekeeper which really is (was?) consultancy.
Apart from that I only find people recommending a manual re-write.

Any thoughts/recommendations?

TIA,
