The link is down.
I'd like to give a plug to mynewly released product `pyx.php` Python module:
https://wordpy.com/pyx/php/
https://github.com/wordpy/pyx
Run Converted PHP Codes in Python with the Speed of Compiled-C
pyx.php is a Cython compiled module that you can use to convert or translate
99% of most common PHP source codes to pure Python. In another words, it is a
PHP-to-Python syntax emulation library in Cython.
The converted Python codes only require a Python 3.x interpreter, the modules
in the pyx repository, and some standard Python libraries. PHP interpreter is
not needed at all.
If we have already translated most of the WordPress core and other scripts from
PHP to Python using pyx.php, you can convert almost any PHP code into Python.
With the speed of compiled Cython, running Python code translated from PHP
using pyx.php might be even faster than running the original PHP code in the
same computer.
Installation
$ git clone https://github.com/wordpy/pyx/
Currently, pyx.php is only available for Python 3.x running 64-bit Linux.
Python 2.x, Mac, or other platforms can be compiled when there are many
requests.
Quick Start
$ python # or ipython
>>> import pyx.php as Php; array = Php.array
>>> arr1 = array( (0,'1-0'),('a','1-a'),('b','1-b'),)
>>> arr2 = array( (0,'2-0'),( 1,'2-1'),('b','2-b'),('c','2-c'),)
>>> arr1 + arr2 # same as: Php.array_plus(arr1, arr2), see below
>>> Php.array_merge(arr1, arr2)

Some thoughts. 1) Syntax. Not a big deal. 2) Semantics. My favourite approach was to create a Python framework that represents PHP in Python and enables round-trips. So one could translate forth and back. Python code that is compliant to the conventions of the framework can also be translated to PHP and for each PHP program P following equation holds: py2php(php2py(P)) = P This makes readable code mandatory. 3) PHP stdlib via C bindings ( ctypes? ) 4) Corner cases of bindings: cut them off. Not everything has to be translated. But produce stubs that raise NotImplementedError exceptions. Same arguments apply to Javascript. Not sure about Ruby but I do think a parser is feasible despite context sensitivities. Ruby is not my concern though. Personally I'd be interested in Wordpress which I like and use.

The problem lies with moi. The ham/spam database had grown rather huge. I
tossed out a bunch of older ham and spam messages from the database and
retrained. That caused a large fraction of new posts to be held as
"unsure". Unfortunately, I didn't notice that for a couple days. I added a
couple hundred of the recently held hams and spams to the database and
retrained last night. This morning nothing new was held. Hopefully that
will solve the problem.

I agree that, in any way, the code resulting from this translation would be anything but pythonic :p The point would rather be to consider code translated from php, ruby, perl or anything as extension modules, which have to be wrapped with pythonic interfaces (much like c/c++ libraries actually), or which are supposed to be deeply refactored. It's always a pity when libraries available in a language have to be reproduced in another - even though building the translation tools would maybe ask for too much effort. Concerning applications, like Drupal, it'd be different of course - I have no precise plan on how Drupal could be translated and then made "maintainable" in python, but for sure Python lacks a similar CMS, easier to approach than Plone and much more feature-full than others (Slemetonz, Pylucid...). And I don't feel quite ready for implementing such a thing myself ^^ Maybe the translation approach isn't the right one ; surely the best would be an interoperability at a lower level, like we have in Jpype, the DLR of .Net, Parrot, ironclad etc... but even with those projects, we're far from a fluent interoperability between languages, which would allow you to pick the best modules in the languages that fit the most for each of your tasks, on the platform you want (I guess that's just a geeky dream).

I agree that, in any way, the code resulting from this translation would be anything but pythonic :p The point would rather be to consider code translated from php, ruby, perl or anything as extension modules, which have to be wrapped with pythonic interfaces (much like c/c++ libraries actually), or which are supposed to be deeply refactored. It's always a pity when libraries available in a language have to be reproduced in another - even though building the translation tools would maybe ask for too much effort. Concerning applications, like Drupal, it'd be different of course - I have no precise plan on how Drupal could be translated and then made "maintainable" in python, but for sure Python lacks a similar CMS, easier to approach than Plone and much more feature-full than others (Slemetonz, Pylucid...). And I don't feel quite ready for implementing such a thing myself ^^ Maybe the translation approach isn't the right one ; surely the best would be an interoperability at a lower level, like we have in Jpype, the DLR of .Net, Parrot, ironclad etc... but even with those projects, we're far from a fluent interoperability between languages, which would allow you to pick the best modules in the languages that fit the most for each of your tasks, on the platform you want (I guess that's just a geeky dream).

Re: php to python code converter
Hello That's funny, I was precisely thinking about a php to python converter, some weeks ago. Such a tool, allowing for example to convert some CMS like Drupal to python, would be a killer app, when we consider the amount of php code available. But of course, there are lots of issues that'd have to be fixed : - translating the php syntax to python syntax - forcing scope limitations where php doesn't have any - handling differences in semantics (for example, the booleanness of "0" or) - handling the automatic variable creation and coertion that php features - handling the php types like arrays (which are neither python lists nor python dicts) - providing a whole mirror of the php stdlib (string and file functions, access to environment vars...) Some things, like PECL modules, would imo be almost impossible to handle (there are already so much trouble to make Cpython extensions available to other python implementations...), but I guess that 95% of existing php websites could be wholly translated "just" with a language translator and an incomplete stddlib replacement. That's hell a lot of work anyway, so it'd be worth weighing it ^^ Actually, your module "phppython" might already be rather useful, because I've crossed here and there people desperately asking for help when translating some php function of their own to python. But if the project were to become bigger, I guess some choices would have to be rechecked. For example it seems you parse the php code your own way, instead of using existing php parsers ; I think the most flexible way would be walking some kind of php abstract syntax tree, and translating it to python AST on the way. Also, writting the comments in english woudl be mandatory :p I'd like to have the opinion of people around : do you think that complete language translators like php<->python or ruby<->python are possible ? Impossible ? Not worth the effort ? Or must be reached by another way (eg. Parrot and stuffs) ?
