The script helps to convert C/C++ sources to C/C++ -like Python sources.
It does some simple edit operations like removing semicolons and type declarations. After it you must edit code manually, but you'll probably spend less time doing it.
Example:
if (a && b) --> if a and b:
{ --> object.method()
object->method(); -->
} -->
The utility will make mistakes and will not generate ready for use code, therefore it won't be useful for you unless you know both C/C++ and Python.
For better result, it is recommended to format your code to ANSI style before performing conversion.
astyle --style=ansi your.cpp source.cpp files.cpp
cpp2python.py DIR Find C/C++ files in the directory
by suffix and process.
cpp2python.py FILE Process the file
cpp2python.py -v|--version|-h|--help Display the help message
After the processing new file is created.
File name is {old file name with suffix}.py. i.e. main.cpp.py
(Optional, the script can be used from the source tree)
python3 setup.py install
