How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from OCaml to Python in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your OCaml code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Python code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from OCaml 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between OCaml and Python
Characteristic | OCaml | Python |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml has a statically-typed, functional programming syntax with strong type inference. | Python has a dynamically-typed, imperative programming syntax with weak type inference. |
Paradigm | OCaml supports functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Python supports imperative programming, object-oriented programming, and procedural programming paradigms. |
Typing | OCaml has static typing with type inference, which helps catch errors at compile-time. | Python has dynamic typing, allowing for more flexibility but potentially leading to runtime errors. |
Performance | OCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution. | Python is generally slower than OCaml due to its dynamic nature and interpreted execution. |
Libraries and frameworks | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Python. | Python has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it highly versatile and widely used. |
Community and support | OCaml has a smaller community and less extensive support compared to Python. | Python has a large and active community with extensive support and resources available. |
Learning curve | OCaml has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax. | Python has a relatively gentle learning curve, making it beginner-friendly and easy to understand. |
