Translating my script from perl to python

[David Deisadze]

Hello, i am translating a program that I wrote in perl to python, i am currently stuck on this section and it does not work.

Perl:

[while (<MAYA>)
{
  
  my ($line) = $_;
  chomp($line);
     
  if ($line =~ /library_geometries/)
  {
    $start = 1;
  }
  
  if ($line =~ /<\/float_array>/)
  {
    $end = 1;
  }
  
  if (($start == 1) && ($end == 0))
  {
    if ($line !~ /</) 
    {
    #print GRID "$line\n";
    
    @Split = split(/ /,$line);
    push @xCoords, $Split[0];
    push @yCoords, $Split[1];
    push @zCoords, $Split[2];
    
    }
  }
}]

PYTHON: WHAT I DID!

[while Maya:
    {
    my (line) = 
    string.rstrip(line)

        elif line in re.search("library_geometries"):

        {
            start == 1
        }

        if (line == float.array)
        {
            end == 1
        }

        if ((start == 1), (end == 0))
        {
            if (line)
                {
                    print('Line \n')

                    array(Split) = split(
                    array.index(Split) = split(line)
                    push array.index(xCoords), Split(0)
                    push array.index(yCoords), Split(1)
                    push array.index(zCoords), Split(2)


                          }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
]

Note my comments below:

# Assume you are iterating on an open file object or list of strings?
for line in Maya:
    line = line.rstrip()
    if "library_geometries" in line:
        start == 1

    # What is float.array?
    # float has no attribute "array"
    elif line == float.array:
        end == 1

    # Where is end assigned to 0?
    if start == 1 and end == 0:
        # Is this a test for "not None"?
        if line:
            print('Line \n')

            # Your parentheses are unbalanced
            # I can't even guess what the following code does
            # Python has no reserved word "push"
            array(Split) = split(
                array.index(Split) = split(line)
                push array.index(xCoords), Split(0)
                push array.index(yCoords), Split(1)
                push array.index(zCoords), Split(2)

Float array tells the program to stop searching, if it finds library.geometr ies then it continues, but when it sees float.array it tells the program to stop, push is in perl, in python its list.append

Here is the one I just finished, but I can't seem to run it.

while Maya():
    import re
    {
        line in []

        (p) == re.compile('library_geometries')
        (m) == p.search('library_geometries')

        if m in (p) 
        start = 1

        else:

        p = re.compile('floar_array')
        m = p.search('float_array')

        if m:
        end = 1

        if ((start == 1), (end == 0))
        
            else line in
        print('Line \n'
                    Split[] = split(line)
                    list.append([xCoords], Split(0)
                    list.append([yCoords]), Split(1))
                    list.append([zCoords]), Split(2))


                          }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Go to python.org and read something about Python syntax.
