Hi All,

I am the current author of the Astro-Sunrise perl module
http://search.cpan.org/~rkhill/Astro-Sunrise-0.91/Sunrise.pm
and was wondering if it would be worth while to convert it to python.

Only you and your module's users may tell...

First off, I have never programmed in python. I would like to use
this project to learn python.

Well, this might be an answer to your first question !-)

I was wondering if there was a
"How to program python for perl programmers" Kinda
like what is different between the two, pitfalls for perl programmers
and what not.

Google is your friend, as usual...

Note that, apart from the Perl/Python diffs, Python has some (few) gotchas, one of them being the difference between mutable and immutable objects.

Another question is, if I do this where can I put the results?
As far as I know python has no "CPAN".
http://www.python.org/pypi/

Thanks in advance.

HTH, and welcome on board.

PS: please don't consider my sig as representative of a good Python coding style !-)
