Pythonizer: Translator from Perl to Python Pythonizer user guide Execution of commands and shell scripts using subprocess module Full protocol of translation of pre_pythonizer.pl by the current version of Pythonizer

This is a protocol of translation of pre-pythonizer  by the current version of pythonizer.  The default target language now is Python 3.8, not Python 2.7 as in prev. versions.  The current version generates global statements to ensure the same visibility of global variables as in Perl,  and has limited support for state variables. If also deals better with postfix conditions.

The resulting program has one syntax errors but still starts executing. Of course, it soon fails:
[4]  # python3.8 maintest.py
maintest.py:920: SyntaxWarning: 'int' object is not subscriptable; perhaps you missed a comma?
  process_line([0[0:-1],0])

One uncanny realization from writing of pythonizer is the realization how complex and convoluted both languages are. In no way Python is the language for beginners. It in neither simple not transparent. Only syntax in Python is simple. While its tiny subset can be used in this role, but the language as a whole is very complex.  Even seasoned programmer will struggle with it and need a lot of time to adapt to the non C language idioms using which the language constructed. It breaks with many things in C-tradition and not always for the better.

I also realized how weak is my knowledge of Perl is and how limited was the subset that I used in it for many years.   The latter is not exaggeration. I discovered many new things about Perl  while writing pythonizer, which I never suspected exists.

Looking into corresponding code it is clear that Python is more verbose and in certain cases less clear then Perl. For example idea of preparing translation table via a separate function is definitely lower level then perl implementation. Generally this is an optimization that is better done by interpreter, colliding identical translation tables, were possible, and moving them to outer block or even compile time BEGIN block.

As for readability you can judge yourself. Perl is slightly higher level language  then Python, so from this point of view it is more readable, because the same algorithms can be expressed in fewer lines. From my point of view rumors that Python is more readable then Perk are greatly exaggerated. They actually are on the same level of obscurity (which in both languages can be greatly enhanced by abusing OO). So the blanket and simplistic statements like Dive Deep Into Python Vs Perl Debate - What Should I Learn Python or Perl-:

Python takes a huge advantage over Perl when it comes to code readability. Python’s code is a lot clearer to understand than that of Perl even when reading code after years.

is an exaggeration, and is not true. Moreover such blanket statement usually suggests that the author never really programmed in Perl anything complex. Because the issues that  matter are not that simple and are connected with handling of namespaces and "time to live" for variables, not with superficial "look and feel" of the source code.

Where Python does shines and is definitely more readable is when it is working with substrings. The fact that stings can be addressed as arrays and ranges specified with starting and ending position represents an advantage.  If makes program more compact too. Compare:

 117 | 1 |      |   if intact_line[0]=='#':             #PL: if( substr($intact_line,0,1) eq '#' ){

Python expresses the same condition with half symbols.

At the same time, even in issues that matter for novices, Python generally stepped on same rakes as Perl, just in a slightly different fashion. For example, both have C-style solution with  '=' for assignment and '==' for comparison, which for a long time is a source of immense amount of errors by novices; Algol 60 solution with := and == is much better; Python 3.8 adopted ":=" for assignments within conditional statements, which is a progress in comparison with  Perl, but still short of eliminating this wart.  

There is some gains in readability in Python due to absence of sigils and more compact block structure due to the absence of closing block bracket (actually Python adopted the idea of semi-brackets as opening bracket in many cases is present -- it is a colon) but this makes any difference only for novices. Professional programmer does not care much and even can benefit from sigils on scalars as it helps to avoid conflicts with reserve words -- which is a problem for Python.  Using beautifier solved that problem with  the excessive number of curvy brackets in Perl scripts. Also using indentation for nesting proved to be a mixed blessing:  one step forward, two steps back.

Please note that sigils in Perl allow really brilliant solution for dereferencing of the pointers (for example, $$refernce_to_hash). References to scalar variables are impossible in Python. Not that it matters much but still.

The difference between external libraries and methods creates confusion as to when you need to use postfix syntax like mystring.function() vs  traditional lib.function(mystring) and  it is definitely problem for novices.

NOTE TO MYSELF: output needs to be prepossessed in a separate file, replacing < with &lt; Otherwise parts of the listing  are not visible, unless viewed as the source code
