Of course, since you have already existing Python code, converting is not for you. Just to make sure you stay informed, there is CLPython: http://common-lisp.net/project/clpython/ I did not try this thing, but I am very pleased it exists. I have some Python code myself and knowing there is a way to reuse it if I choose some other way makes me feel better. Or rather, knowing I can easily merge the two (or more) ways.
