I wish porting projects from Delphi was easier. I was trying to make Python bindings for the AcBR library[1] and failed miserably.

Shameless plug: if you think you are up to the task and is not too expensive contact paulo at xtend.com.br

There is another Pascal project out there called Oxygen by the folks at RemObjects. Not free, but I've heard good comments about it: http://www.elementscompiler.com/elements/oxygene/


I'd definitely use it more if I could port over the last few Delphi apps I have in production. My Delphi 7 is getting a bit old...

Aside from single-file executables, the biggest advantage to Lazarus (and also Delphi) [to me] is that all the libraries are also built in the language. No needing to bounce down to opaque DLLs just to display some GUI element.


Just in case, I found this: http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Delphi_Converter_in_Lazar...


A bit old is an understatement :^) why not update to more recent iterations of Delphi?
