Python version: 3.5
Lua version: 5.2
I want to know more about FEATURES!
usage: python-lua [-h] [--show-ast] [--only-lua-init] [--no-lua-init] [IF]
Python to lua translator.
positional arguments:
IF A python script filename to translate it.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--show-ast Print python ast tree before code.
--only-lua-init Print only lua initialization code.
--no-lua-init Print lua code without lua init code.
For example: python3 __main__py tests/iterlist.py
from pythonlua.translator import Translator
...
translator = Translator()
lua_code = translator.translate(python_code)
For example see runtests.py.
This translator defines some python functions in lua (len, range, enumerate, list, dict and other).
For list and dict it also defines most methods like append() for list and items() for dict.
You can find this definitions in the file pythonlua/luainit.lua.
Also this definitions will be in the output, when you run translator as a standalone application.
For example:
(venv) ******@****:~/Projects/python/python-lua$ python3 __main__.py tests/del.py
local string_meta = getmetatable("")
string_meta.__add = function(v1, v2)
if type(v1) == "string" and type(v2) == "string" then
return v1 .. v2
end
return v1 + v2
end
local str = tostring
local int = tonumber
local function len(t)
return #t
end
local function range(from, to, step)
assert(from ~= nil)
if to == nil then
to = from

end
if step == nil then
step = to > from and 1 or -1
end
local i = from
return function()
ret = i
if (step > 0 and i > to) or (step < 0 and i < to) then
return nil
end

return ret
end
end
local function list(t)
local methods = {}
methods.append = function(value)
table.insert(t, value)
end
local iterator_index = nil

if type(index) == "number" and index < 0 then
return rawget(t, #t + index + 1)
end
return methods[index]
end,

if idx == nil and iterator_index ~= nil then
iterator_index = nil
end
local v = nil

end,
})

end

end

local i, v = next(t, nil)
return function()
local index, value = i, v
i, v = next(t, i)
if index == nil then

end

end
end

You can start your string with the tag [[luacode]] to simply insert lua code in the python. For example,
Python code:
def get_summ(a, b):
return a + b
print(get_summ(3, 5))
"""[[luacode]]
local c = 45
print(c)
"""
Lua code:
local function get_summ(a, b)
return (a + b)
end
print(get_summ(3, 5))
local c = 45
print(c)
Python code:
print(5 + 3)
print(18 - 2)
print(5 * 5)
print(64 / 2)
print(11 ** 2)
print(11 // 2)
print(11 / 2)
print(((5 + 34) ** 2 / 53) * (24 - 6 * 3))
Lua code:
print((5 + 3))
print((18 - 2))
print((5 * 5))
print((64 / 2))
print((math.pow(11, 2)))
print((math.floor(11 / 2)))
print((11 / 2))
print((((math.pow((5 + 34), 2)) / 53) * (24 - (6 * 3))))
Python code:
a = 0xFA23423
b = 0xAC23BD2
c = 0x548034D
print(a & b)
print((a & b) | c)
print(~((a & b) | c))
Lua code:
local a = 262288419
local b = 180501458
local c = 88605517
