FAQ
Q: Are the original VB files altered in any way?
Your existing code is left completely intact. The new Python files are output to the new location that you specify.
Q: What is the conversion accuracy?
Our accuracy is very high, but there will be significant adjustments required for all but the simplest conversions. There are no direct equivalents for some aspects of VB. Read the rest of the FAQ to get an idea of a few things that are not converted. VB to Python Converter is intended to reduce the amount of work you'll have to do to convert code to Python, but it is just the first step.
Q: Does VB to Python Converter convert VB6 projects to Python?
No - the most effective way to convert VB6 to Python is to first upgrade to VB.NET, and then use VB to Python Converter on the resulting VB code.
Q: Are VB delegates converted?
Yes - try out our Free Edition to see the conversion details.
Q: Are VB ByRef parameters converted?
Yes - try out our Free Edition to see the conversion details. We substitute a wrapper type for the parameter type and adjust all references to the parameter in the defining method and all calls to the method.
Q: What about .NET UI code?
The converter does not convert .NET UI types due to the lack of similarity between these types and Python UI types.
Q: Are Python type hints included?
The converter has an option to include Python type hints.
Q: What are the most common adjustments necessary after conversion?
- VB to Python Converter converts only some .NET types to Python equivalents. The converter offers options to use your own custom replacements.
- Method overloads are not allowed in Python. These are marked with a comment.
- Since Python lacks a preprocessor, all code dependent on conditional compilation needs to be refactored so that the functionality can be achieved in other ways.
- VB LINQ syntax is not converted since this feature is not available in Python.
- VB 'Structure' is converted to Python 'class', since Python does not include value types, so some adjustments may be required.
- Classic VB unstructured error handling (On Error Resume Next, On Error GoTo -1, etc.) are not converted. These statements are marked as a 'task'.
