turing to python

[Notthebbq]

so my group is getting through the project pretty ok but we don't know how to do some things still. in the turing link you have here a lot of people have good games that use features like save and laod and other nice stuff that i can't think of off the top of my head. anyway, is there an easy way to translate turing code into python and i don't mean like a translator program or anything but similar things ie: put = print. if we had a way to do that it would make figuring out things in our project much easier.

I'm not sure if anything like this would be worthwhile if it's only about syntax. But if it's say something like "I can do file I/O in Turing with this code...what is the Python equivalent?" you will get a lot of answers, which is good. If you're specific about what exactly you would like to know how to do in Python, you will get help. But I don't know that you will find anyone that's written up a bunch of things in Turing, and then followed up with Python equivalents.

I should note that looking for equivalents is good for learning, but beyond that you aren't exploiting a language for what it's really good for. If you go about learning Python thinking that it's just a different syntax from Turing, you won't get very far, and you won't ever understand why Python is better than Turing.
