How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Lisp to Python in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Lisp code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Python code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lisp to Python using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Key differences between Lisp and Python

CharacteristicLispPython
SyntaxLisp has a unique syntax that uses a lot of parentheses and prefix notation, which can be difficult for beginners to understand.Python has a simple and easy-to-read syntax that emphasizes readability and reduces the cost of program maintenance.
ParadigmLisp is a functional programming language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and meta-programming paradigms.Python is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming paradigms.
TypingLisp is dynamically typed, which means that the type of a variable is determined at runtime.Python is dynamically typed, which means that the type of a variable is determined at runtime.
PerformanceLisp is generally faster than Python because it is a compiled language.Python is generally slower than Lisp because it is an interpreted language.
Libraries and frameworksLisp has a smaller community than Python, so it has fewer libraries and frameworks available.Python has a large and active community, so it has a vast number of libraries and frameworks available.
Community and supportLisp has a smaller community than Python, so it may be more challenging to find support and resources.Python has a large and active community, so it is easy to find support and resources.
Learning curveLisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm.Python has a shallow learning curve due to its simple syntax and easy-to-understand concepts.
