• Sprites -> CLASSES
  
• Clones -> OBJECTS
  
• When I start as a clone -> def __init__(self)
  
• There's no “original sprite”, but __init__() can receive parameters, which can make objects different.
  
• broadcast-and-wait + my blocks = FUNCTIONS (very powerful!) Functions can return values, which is a lot neater than using global variables like scratch makes you.
  
• Classes can inherit each other, which means similar classes don't need lots of duplicated code.
  
• Functions inside a class become METHODS. You can call one on an object of the class using the dot and then the method name.
  
• Dragging stuff from the backpack -> Importing MODULES
  
• Data types may seem confusing, but they're just different types of values. Remember, classes are types too!
  

import random
class Blob: 
    def __init__(self, size):
        self.size = size # This gives our blob a size, and a parameter in __init__ can let us choose what size a blob starts as.
    def grow(self, amount):
        self.size += amount # changes the size variable by the amount parameter to make our blob bigger.
blobs = [] # Creates an empty list.
for i in range(10) # Repeat 10 times.
    blobs.append(Blob(random.randint(1, 5))) # Creates a new blob with a random size from 1-5 and adds it to the list.
for blob in blobs: # Iterate over each individual blob in the blobs list.
    blob.grow(random.randint(1,5)) # Makes the blob grow by a random amount.

While there is no official, one-click conversion tool, you can use third-party converter tools like sb3topy or the online codepatch website to translate your Scratch project into Python code.
thanks

You can use https://microbit.org . It's kinda Scratch and you can translate the code into python and JavaScript.

There's this, although it is incomplete and seems to be abandoned.

Everything is working now except for cairosvg. I will tackle that nightmare in the morning.

If you manually convert all of the assets from SVG to PNG, you shouldn't need to worry about CairoSVG. The latest version of Pygame also supports SVGs, so you probably don't actually need to convert them.

Are you getting an error when you try to run the project, or is it just waning that it can't convert the SVGs?

CairoSVG is working! The SVGs are really high quality. It worked on one project but now I have a new error. When I run “python3 src/run_gui.pyw”, the terminal says “Traceback (most recent call last)… AttributeError: module ‘sb3topy.config’ has no attribute ‘parse_args’”. Gemini is not helping.

I ran all the requirements already—there's just a new error with opening the python launcher. I am using python 3.14. It doesn't work at all if I use an earlier version. Please help! Thank you!

If you cloned the project using git, could you run git diff and paste the output? It sounds like you changed something in the code. If you didn't mean to change something, you can reset the code with git reset –hard, or you could redownload the project. I can help fix it if you changed something on purpose though.

I tried running with Python 3.14, and I didn't get the error you described. Not sure how it would work once and then give weird import errors if something didn't change in the code…
