If anyone hasn't tried Snap! 4.0, I think it is really great.
It's almost like upgraded Scratch, and you can do many more things like… Scratch to Python!

If you go to http://snap.berkeley.edu/snapsource/snap.html and open the Example file called Codification, you can create a simple program in Snap! and drag and drop the script into the variable ‘script’. Then run this block and your variable will be set to whatever you drag-dropped.

At the bottom there is a block called ‘Map to python’ with some other blocks attached, and you can run that block and it will convert your scratch to Python! You can see the results in the Stage and export the ‘Code’ variable and run it on python!

Very neat.

Sounds cool! I haven't used it, but I might in the future! (I knew that Snap! existed, I just didn't know that it had the Scratch to Python feature.)

Sounds pretty neat! I'll test it out.

What web browser are you using? Please click on the globe button in the reply box. It'll say something like “My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.5.0, Chrome 17, Flash 11.0 (release 0).”

It's an online program, by the way. Click here to run it.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

How do you do the scratch to python thing?

Read the post. It explains how.

Oh! Thank you! That might be helpful in the future…

Where is the scratch to python button

Look in the top menus

I can't find the Explore file.

Ok - so I checked this out - you should know:

1) the Scratch to Python, Scratch to C, etc. are pretty limited converters. They are are only built to convert blocks that operate on numbers and operations. Anything involving sound or graphics is beyond it's capability.

2) it is not button to convert - you need to open the file “Codification” from the examples menu, then read the comments in the scripts to figure out how to do a conversion, basically this:
* Find the block that says set script to { }
* stick your code inside the grey { }
* run this block (by double clicking)
* run the block that starts with Map to Python (or Map to C etc)
It will then show the equivalent code in the display window. As mentioned - anything involving graphics or sound or sensors etc won't work, just calculations.

my_var = 10

a = True
b = False

my_int = 7
my_int = 3
print (my_int)

spam = True
eggs = False

mysterious_variable = 42

#hweoto3rhq3ph

“”“”skngknthuthotohot
trsjsdjyjsjdh 6ehyj ytysr“”"

count_to = 5
addition = 5 + 0
subtraction = 10 - 5
print (count_to)

eggs = 28
print (eggs)

eggs = 2**8
print (eggs)

eggs = 6 ** 3 - 116
print (eggs)

spam = 4 % 3
print spam

people who want to learn python can go to sololearn or codecademy.

I tried it but… it was very limited.
The sound thing didnt even work!

when green flag clicked
say [WHY!] for (2) secs
move (10) steps
turn cw (180) degrees
move (10) steps
turn cw (180) degrees
move (10) steps
point towards [mom v]
play sound [why! v]
set [sadness level v] to [over 9,000]
