Python to RPN converter

[tcab]

No worries. I've gone ahead and implemented a Clear button and a New Project link - as well as removing the initial demo code from the converter.

Other features released today include a new LBL main start point for programs, allowing access to the Python global scope area - great for sharing variables between functions. Programs written with this paradigm are likely to be more appealing to RPN programmers and look like:

Code:


LBL("main")

length = 10
width = 20

report()

def report():
  print('length is', length, '[LF]width is', width)

Variable references now look outwards from functions into their outer functions (if any)... all the way to global scope - until they find the variable. This is how nested scope works in most programming languages, including Python. Read all about scope in the help file.

Other features released today are the ability to edit and delete cloned example snippets, as well as vote on them. A new simplified menu() command has been added - there are a couple of examples showing how you can rapidly build custom menus and submenus.
