12 — Convert: turn Python into NME

nme convert goes the other way: it rewrites safe Python patterns into the level and language you choose. Lines it cannot convert safely stay Python.

#Steps

1. Create old.py with a few familiar lines:

   print("hi")
   name = input("Name: ")
   if name:
       print("hi", name)
   

   copy

2. Convert it to English sentence syntax:

   nme convert old.py --level sentence --language en -o easy.nme
   

   copy

   The result keeps the if (Python) but rewrites what it can:

   show "hi"
   ask name "Name: "
   if name:
       print("hi", name)
   

   copyrun it →

3. The Korean command uses 변환; beginner syntax keeps the quotes, as the converter always does:

   nme 변환 old.py --level beginner --language ko -o easy.ko.nme
   

   copy

   The result:

   말해 "hi"
   물어봐 name, "Name: "
   if name:
       print("hi", name)
   

   copyrun it →

4. Check and run the converted programs:

   nme c easy
   nme run easy
   

   copy

   The converter never guesses: anything that could change the meaning stays ordinary Python.

#Try it yourself

Add a for i in range(3): print(i) line to old.py and convert again at --level beginner. The loop becomes 3 times: say i — but only after you read the result.

#What you learned

• nme convert rewrites safe print, input, and simple patterns.
• --level sentence|beginner|advanced and --language en|ko pick the target.
• nme 변환 is the Korean command.
• Everything uncertain stays Python — no lossy guesses.
