vfp2py is an attempt to create a tool to automatically create python code from foxpro 9 code.

Many but not nearly all commands are currently supported with missing commands to be added as need arises. Conversion can be done on individual prg files or whole projects pjx files.

• Translates code comments
• Handles preprocessor commands
• Support for reading and writing dbf files via Ethan Furman's dbf package
• Many functions are inlined in the generated python code.
• Many complex functions and commands are available through a runtime - vfpfunc.py
• Somewhat functioning gui using PySide

• Add more commands to parser
• Improve gui
• Rework scoping to facilitate operation of some commands.
• Add missing code conversion for some commands currently supported by parser
• Add more runtime functions
• Put package on pypi for easier install
• Speed up parsing

python -m pip install vfp2py

 $ vfp2py --help
 usage: vfp2py [-h] [--logging] infile outpath [search [search ...]]
 
 Tool for rewriting Foxpro code in Python

 outpath path to output converted code, will be a filename for all but
 pjx which will be a directory
 search directory to search for included files
 
 optional arguments:
 -h, --help show this help message and exit
 --logging file to convert

To convert a file simply run vfp2py --logging input_file.prg output_file.py or vfp2py --logging input_project.pjx output_directory
