...however such a "refactor" is easy for a human to do.
What the OP could do is read up on wrapping the C++ API, and then do
the "change language refactor" incrementally per source file. Even
for a large application, if you had the whole C++ API wrapped so it
was accessible via Python, it'd be fairly straight-forward and perhaps
even easy. Heck, you could even write a quickie conversion utility
that converted the top-level C++ syntax into Python syntax to get 90%
of the way there.
Even a quickie:
def ConvertBraces(filename):
lines = file(filename).readlines()
indent = 0
for line in lines:
stripped = line.strip()
if stripped == '{':
indent += 1
print ':',
elif stripped == '}':
indent -= 1
print '\n', '\t'*indent, 'pass\n'
elif:
print '\n', '\t'*indent, stripped
files = glob.glob('*.cpp')
for f in files:
ConvertBraces(f)
...that may well get you started. ;)
For fancy stuff like comment matching I'll suggest the re library.
-tom!
