Python-AST to D source converter may already exist?

A rudimentary converter from (extended) Python to D. Maybe you can use it as a starting point.

Thanks for the suggestions. I put the question aside for a bit, but yesterday ran across a python transpiler here:

It already has support for C++, Go and others. Since I have mountains of python code created over many years, maybe it would be worth contributing to this project out of self interest.

Can you take a look at py2many and see what you think about it? Getting D on the support list might be good.

(Haven't checked its own implementation and output code quality.)

But it says has output for Kotlin, Dart, these two languages are similar to D syntactically, so will be a good start.
