perthon-0.1
- - Perthon is a Perl module and is written entirely in Perl 5.x. It is platform independent. - Perthon uses the Damian Conway's Parse::RecDescent Perl module (http://search.cpan.org/~dconway/Parse-RecDescent/) for language parsing. - Perthon reimplements the Python language as specified in the Python Reference Manual and BNF grammar (http://www.python.org/doc/current/ref/ref.html). - Perthon allows Python code to be run on the Perl 5.x interpreter, which is similar to how Jython (www.jython.org) reimplements Python on the JVM, except that Perthon works at the source code (not byte code) level. Jython is more analogous to the work underway to reimplement Python on the Parrot virtual machine(http://www.parrotcode.org/) that it is to Perthon. - Perthon does the reverse of Bridgekeeper (http://www.crazy-compilers.com/bridgekeeper/), which attempts the (much harder) problem of Perl to Python source code machine translation.
