Advice on translating code from very unrelated languages ​​(in this case, Scheme to Python)?

Question

Reasoning: I'm trying to convert a large library from Scheme to Python

Are there any good strategies for such a conversion? In particular, the cross-paradigm in this case, since Python is larger than OO, and the circuit is functional.

Totally subjective, so I make it a community wiki

Answer 5

Write a Python interpreter in Scheme and directly translate your program to this :-) You can start with def:

 (define-syntax def
      (syntax-rules ()
        ((def func-name rest ...)
         (define func-name (lambda rest ...)))))

 ;; test

 (def sqr (x) (* x x))
 (sqr 2) => 4
