Rewriting C++ programs in Py (need help)

[Tcll]

does anyone have any note on rewriting C/C++ programs in Python??
google and bing give me the exact opposite, and I've got a headache from searching...

please note that I can't read C++

if you need the program I'm rewriting, please let me know

[Beat_Slayer]

So you can't read C++, and want to convert some C++ files to Python?

How about leaking the C++ files so we can help you?

Meanwhile, i'll google for tools. ;)

IDK if this works or not...
but I used js based knowledge to get about 9 files into one...

the program is an MDL0 to collada converter written bt William Hane
just so I don't get in trouble for posting someone elses code...

[Beat_Slayer]

You need to start here, so you can load those collada files and work with them.

[Tcll]

it's not the collada I'm worried about...

I'm writing an import script for blender to import MDL0 files
as well as an export script...

but thanx for the referance

[Beat_Slayer]

I saw your scripts just now.

So what do you want?

You searching for a way of importing MDL0? Right?

[Tcll]

wait wut...
my scripts??
you mean on Smashboards, emutalk, etc...??

and yea... that's right...

it's sad how I had to come here actually...

[Beat_Slayer]

I believe I have something for you.

Parsing Simulink mdl files with Pyparsing

Maybe you can adapt or reuse some of the code, or at least get a base to start with.

[TrustyTony]

Could be that that module you want would work with IronPython or what you say IronPython gurus?

Or the program could be complied to library (dll in Windows) and used as Python library with ctypes. Or you could see if shedskin could manage to turn all your code to C++ if you are in non-windows platform (or use version 0.3 for windows)

[Tcll]

already, I can say that's a no...
MDL0 files are not in ASCII

would anyone like some info I have on the mdl0 files??

[Beat_Slayer]

Maybe a sample file and some info would help mate.

I'm just trying to help, but I have litle insight on this.

And this?

[Tcll]

I understand... :)

you can look into the research that's been done:
http://www.smashboards.com/showpost.php?p=10716092&postcount=3 (most of the research)
http://emutalk.net/showpost.php?p=432680&postcount=2 (my research to add)

here's the mdl0 of the only char I was able to get imported into blender:
(using the old conversion methods and such)
[img]http://lh4.ggpht.com/_IteXPmeC6ek/S9zsZyqYhXI/AAAAAAAABDk/rDWHE9dPOwU/s640/Pikachu.PNG.jpg[/img]
look in the attached file...

lol
I just noticed the attachment containing the nsbmd.html file XD

I already had that...
the notes are more recent than that :)

but yea...

hope you guys have fun :)
I just wanna know how I can rewrite C++ into Py is all...
still keep finding the same old reverse results...
(rewriting py in C++)

Well IronPython is only good if the foreign code is C# or VB.NET, or even IronRuby.

The reason why this code can't be directly translated line-by-line to Python is because it is C++, with its low-level/static pointers, private class members, etc

You could just go ahead and compile it, and use the dll with ctypes.
It is easier said than done, though. (You would need to create C interfaces... etc since ctypes is for C not C++)

Which is why I ultimately recommend Boost.Python.

C++ library that allows Python/C++ integration.

that doesn't help me with my importer...
the code has already been compiled by william Hane...

I'm trying to use his methods for my importer...
(along with methods from other converters)
but what good does it do me if reading the code is like trying to read chinese...

and I cant just import it as a module either...
the code is setup to convert...
I need to rewrite it to import, and blender doesn't read C++

I can read Chinese :P

I've never used Boost.Python, but it looks like it is able to make Python modules out of C++ files. So take a look there.

[Tcll]

KK sweet :D

I'll try it...

I'll be back I guess XD

thanx for the help (to everyone) :)

well I wasn't as lucky as I thought I was...
it turns out, this is only a compiler IDE module that can allow mixing C++ and Py...
havn't found anything to do with conversion yet...

but I've noticed this C++ to Py conversion thing is starting to become big...

[Gribouillis]

I don't think you can translate C++ into python if you don't understand C++. Your program does not seem too difficult to translate for someone who knows both C++ and python. The good way to translate is to understand precisely what the C++ code does and to achieve the same effect in python. Note that the C++ code uses different low level types, for example uint32_t uint16_t int16_t uint uchar int. In python, there is only one integer type. The effect of the code on these low level types must be examined attentively for code translation.

As far as I know, there is no automated tool to translate C++ in python, because the semantics of C++ code is too difficult.

So, learn C++, or find an expert to translate the code for you.

Exactly, very big because it's not quite possible. You'll have to rewrite the entire thing in Python instead of (line-by-line) converting it. C++ is much lower-level than Python.
Additionally, you would have to write Python versions of the C++ header domCOLLADA.h, or find another way to do that.

The point of the Boost.Python thing is to allow you to use that C++ file from Python.

Here seems to be one description of that header file use.

well, I've tried learning, and still can't understand the tutorials for crap...
(tried to do what the tutorials told me and failed miserably)

so I've been looking for someone who can translate,
or at least give me a guide to translate the C++ classes and whatever...

The point of the Boost.Python thing is to allow you to use that C++ file from Python.

if only the C++ headers were rewritten in python to be able to be used as modules...

There are lots of us who would be happy to 'translate' modest amounts of C, C++, etc code to Python code that does the equivalent.
It's just that your code is really, really big, and plus, there are the dae.h and domCollada.h files which may even be bigger.

[Tcll]

would it help if I told you I don't need the collada part of the code :)
I just want anything that deals with mdl0...

I can get you the source for Will's converter if you like :)
(meaning the seprate files)

[Tcll]

go ahead ant traslate :)
just ignore anything to do with collada...

I just need to know how to convert the values in an mdl0 file...

thanx for all your help :)
and if there are any referances on how to translate,
please let me know...

@jcao219

how's progress coming??
just curious #_#

anything useful yet?

[jcao219]

@jcao219

when you try to directly translate C++ to Python, you end up writing horrible unidiomatic code.

I don't think I can do this,
especially when I saw the Union thing, there's really no equivalent in Python*
here's what I got though:

class Vec3(object):
	def __init__(self, x = 0.0, y = 0.0, z = 0.0):
		self.__x = x
		self.__y = y
		self.__z = y
		
	@property
	def X(self):
		return self.__x
	
	@property
	def Y(self):
		return self.__y
		
	@property
	def Z(self):
		return self.__y
		
		

class Vec2(object):
	def __init__(self, x = 0.0, y = 0.0):
		self.__x = x
		self.__y = y
		
	@property
	def X(self):
		return self.__x
	
	@property
	def Y(self):
		return self.__y
		
		
class RGBA(object):
	def __init__(self, r, g, b, a):
		if not all([0 =< val <= 255 for val in (r,g,b,a)]):
			raise TypeError("r, g, b, and a arguments must be from 0 to 255!")
		try:
			self.__r, self.__g, self.__b, self.__a = int(r), int(g), int(b), int(a)  #Follow duck typing
		except ValueError:
			TypeError("Arguments can only be numbers!")
			
	@property
	def R(self):
		return self.__r
		
	@property
	def G(self):
		return self.__g
		
	def B(self):
		return self.__b
		
	def A(self):
		return self__a
		
		
class VecGroup(list):
	"""A list of Vecs"""
	
	def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
		super(VecGroup, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
		self.set = False
		
	def SetBound(self, min, max):  
	"""Although this is supposed to be as close to the cpp as possible,
	I don't want to go to the trouble of enforcing all things in this collection are 
	Vecs"""
		if not self.set:
			self.__min = min
			self.__max = max
			self.__set = True
			
	@property
	def BoundingMin(self):
		return self.__min
		
	@property
	def BoundingMax(self):
		return self.__max
		

class Vec3Group(VecGroup): pass
class Vec2Group(VecGroup): pass
class RGBAGroup(list): pass

class Vertex(object):
	def __init__(self):
		self.__vertex = 0
		self__normal = 0
		self.__color = 0
		self.__uvCount = 0
		self.__uv = []
		
	def Set(vertex, normal, color, uv, numUV):
		"""vertex, normal, color, and numUV are integers, uv is a collection of ints"""
		self.__vertex = int(vertex)  #uint16 is integer from 0~65535
		self.__normal = int(normal)
		self.__color = int(color)
		self.__uv = list(uv)
		self.__numUV = numUV
		
	def GetVertex(self):  #I like to make methods that start with "Get" as methods
		return self.__vertex
		
	def GetNormal(self):
		return self.__normal
		
	def GetColor(self):
		return self.__color
		
	def GetUV(self):
		return self.__uv
		
	@property
	def UVCount(self):  #and those that don't, I make them as properties
		return self.__numUV
		

def TriangleStrip(self):
	def __init__(self):
		self.__locked = False
		self.verts = []
		
	def __getitem__(self, index):
		return self.verts[index]
		
	def Add(self, vertex):
		if not self.__locked:
			self.verts.append(vertex)
			
	def Lock(self):
		self.locked = True
		
	@property
	def Count(self):
		return len(self.verts)

then I figured out it was impractical
very sorry,
the best way is to identify exactly what this code is doing,
and write it idiomatically in Python.
there's so many pointers and C/C++ish low-level memory stuff in there, so making a python version of that may be hard.

*there probably is, but I'm not experienced in that area
I could probably translate the mdl0file class, since that's the most important one, but i'll have to wait a few days, right now I'm too busy with my vacation :D

[Tcll]

that's ok :)

hey, you gave it your best
and it looks close enough to the C++ code
(since I can't read C++, I can only look at it) =3=

I'll see what I can gather from this...
thanx a bunch...

maybe I'll use this thread to develope my import/export script...
nah... I'll make a new thread when I get around to posting it...

[Tcll]

I see...
you just rewrote the main classes

however, I noticed you only got to the triangle strips when you couldn't work with it anymore...

one thing I've had much trouble with is accessing coords stored in a variable...
I can't for the life of me, figure out how to store a file in a var...
