Could you show us what you have so far in Python and what syntax errors
you get?
Just as one example, this would be
pretty straightforward to convert straight
to Python, syntactically. Whether you'd
want to restructure the application to be
more optimally "Pythonic" is another topic
depending on what else is going on (or is
this the entire program)?

def drawSquare1():
if (x1 < 0 or x1 > width-size):
x1 += x1Speed
y1 += y1Speed
rect(x1, y1, size, size)
Is that the sort of code you're coming up with?
One thing that strikes me off the top here is that
(in either language) you'd be better off not using
all those global variables. Make your functions take
parameters and use them in your calculations.
