Python to Lua

This transpiler compiles Python to Lua automatically.
If you just want to use indentation syntax, have a look at IndentSyntax.
It also supports usage of normal Lua functions in the scripts you're transpiling, such as string.gsub in Lua.
ends are placed manually, with #end, class becomes a table (end with #class).

The aim of this transpiler is to allow a Python syntax while using Lua functions, whenever you need a specifically Lua script.
All variable declarations automatically become local in the output, which if outside any expression, will be equivalent to a global.

Installation

Installing this transpiler is simple, and any device that can run Python can install it, so macOS, Linux, and Windows are all probably able to do it, Windows has been tested and works successfully.
Here are some steps on how to install it:

• Download Python 3.8.x or higher
  Other Python versions (such as 3.5, 3.4, etc) may work, but have not been tested if you already have an older version, use that. If an error occurs, upgrade.
• Download the scripts
  You can clone this repository, or install the main folder.
  No compilation is necessary, Python is interpreted.
• Run compiler.py
  You will have now ran the compiler.

Usage

There are a lot of things you need to be mindful of when using the compiler, to compile, press 'Menu', click 'open', find your file, open it, then press 'Menu' again and select 'Compile'.

Here is also a list of things you need to know:

• Lua built-in functions are to be used.
  

Use Lua functions, don't use Python ones, think of this as Lua with a Python syntax.

• Indentation doesn't add end
  

Always add #end as you would in Lua, at the end of an expression, a function, etc. We're planning to make indentation automatically add end but currently it's unavailable.

• Classes become Tables
  

Lua has no classes, therefore declaring a Python class creates a Lua table, which is basically a dictionary, which is referred to the same way as classes (eg: tablename.tablevalue). You need to end each class/table with #class.
Lua tables normally do carry functions, however if you want to add one to your class, please use lambdas, not functions, eg: name = lambda: ... #end.

• Dictionaries are to be written with =
  

You need to write each dictionary with =, not "key": "value" rather key = "value"

• F-strings aren't supported.

Due to my skill level, I wasn't able to support f-strings. However, you can use the .format.

Changelog:

NOTICE: Changelog is for the most recent thing, not the entire thing.

• Add support for format function.
  Example:

example_string = "Hello"
print("{0} World!".format(example_string))
