I'm coming from C and C++ and have often troubles using pythons full potential. This is a script I wrote to translate latex documents in different languages. A parser replaces all latex specific syntax with hashes and then sends it all to deepl. The pydeepl wrapper is from Github.

What do you think of this code?

import sys

import re

import pydeepl

from random import choice

from tqdm import tqdm



def make_xlat(*args, **kwds):

    adict = dict(*args, **kwds)

    rx = re.compile('|'.join(map(re.escape, adict)))

    def one_xlat(match):

        return adict[match.group(0)]

    def xlat(text):

        return rx.sub(one_xlat, text)

    return xlat 



if __name__ == "__main__":

     fileInputName = sys.argv[1]

     #fileInputName = "Introduction.tex"

     fileOutName = fileInputName.split('.')[0]+"_trans.tex"



     fileIn  = open(fileInputName, "r")

     fileOut = open(fileOutName, "w")



     fileStr = fileIn.read()



     print("Starting hashing...")



     #replace commands like begin{*}, end{*}, tabs etc. with hashes

     searchObj1 = re.findall( r"\begin{w+}|t|    |r|\end{w+}|\usepackage{w+}|\newcommand{w+}|\include{.*}|\input{w+}|\w+[.*}|%.*", fileStr)

     #random number for every found command + a prefix which hopefully doens't appear in text. Used to skip lines later, which don't need translation

     list1 = ['X#X' + str(choice(range(1111, 9999, 1))) for x in searchObj1]

     #make a dictionary out of hashes

     d1 = dict(zip(searchObj1,list1))

     translate = make_xlat(d1)

     hashedText = translate(fileStr)



     #replace all latex commands (starting with a backslash) with hashes

     searchObj2 = re.findall( r"\w+",hashedText)

     #random number  + prefix again

     list2 = ['X#X' + str(choice(range(1111, 9999, 1))) for x in searchObj2]

     #make a dictionary

     d2 = dict(zip(searchObj2,list2))

     translate = make_xlat(d2)

     hashedText = translate(hashedText)

     #print(hashedText)

     #fileOut.write(translate(hashedText))



     d1.update(d2) # combine dictionaries

     #with open('hash_dict.json', 'w') as f:

     #json.dump(d1, f)



     print("Hashing done. Starting translation...")



     translated = ''

     for line in tqdm(hashedText.splitlines()): #tqdm is a progressbar

         #print(line)

         if line.startswith("X#X") and len(line) == 7:

             translated = translated + line + 'n'

             continue

         if line == 'n':

             translated = translated + 'n'

         elif line == '':

             translated = translated + 'n'

         else:

             translated = translated+pydeepl.translate(line, "DE", "EN")+'n'

     #translated = translated+pydeepl.translate(hashedText, "DE", "EN")

     #print(translated)



     d1Inv = {val:key for (key, val) in d1.items()} #swap dictionary

     translate2 = make_xlat(d1Inv)

     fileStrOut = translate2(translated)

     #print(fileStrOut)



     fileOut.write(fileStrOut)



     print("success")

     fileIn.close()

     fileOut.close()
