PHP2Python
Convert PHP code to Python running under CGI (beta).
Requirements
Install dependencies
$ php composer.phar install
$ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
If you have composer / pip installed globally:
$ composer install
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Converting WordPress source code to Python
In the folder ./wordpress-5.4 there\’s a copy of WP and its convertion with the tool:
$ python3 php2py.py --keep-ast ./wordpress-5.4
This produces *.py files, the *.ast (because –keep-ast is used) and if there\’s any error (which should be at the moment) *.errors.txt files.
In order to run the converted files you need to specify the full path of the PHP compatibility library in the PHP2PY_COMPAT environmental variable:
$ cd ./wordpress-5.4
$ PHP2PY_COMPAT=$HOME/php_compat.py python3 index.py
There are a few things left to finish in order to get a complete working converting without having to edit to converted code. I was waiting to tackle those before publishing the code but I\’m not having much spare time left these days.
Any PRs and/or comments are more than welcome.
Roadmap
- Complete implementation of AST nodes transformation.
- Address limitations of Python language
- Finish implementing all of the supporting PHP functions to run WordPress.
- Rearrange AST nodes to simplify conversion.
-
Refactor converted code to output Flask/Django code instead. Requires an overhaul of the
import mechanism.
