C# to Python Converter FAQ

Q:   Are the original C# files altered in any way?

Your existing code is left completely intact. The new Python files are output to the new location that you specify.

Q:   What version of C# is converted?

We attempt to convert as much as possible and are continually updating the converter to handle newer C# features. However, many new C# features have no Python equivalent so the output will require adjustments.

Q:   What is the conversion accuracy?

Our accuracy is very high, but there will be significant adjustments required for all but the simplest conversions. There are no direct equivalents for some aspects of C#. Read the rest of the FAQ to get an idea of a few things that are not converted. C# to Python Converter is intended to reduce the amount of work you'll have to do to convert code to Python, but it is just the first step.

Q:   Are C# delegates converted?

Yes — try out our Free Edition to see the conversion details.

Q:   Are C# ref parameters converted?

Yes — try out our Free Edition to see the conversion details. We substitute a wrapper type for the parameter type and adjust all references to the parameter in the defining method and all calls to the method.

Q:   What about .NET UI code?

The converter does not convert .NET UI types due to the lack of similarity between these types and Python UI types.

Q:   Are Python type hints included?

The converter has an option to include Python type hints.

Q:   What are the most common adjustments necessary after conversion?
