Does anyone know of any resources like this to go the other way - Java to Python? I know a minimal amount of Python but want to learn more. And I know Java very very well. I feel like this learning style is perfect for me and would help me understand Python a lot better.

I ported an alpha version of Apache Shiro to python. There was so much to refactor. Even after three releases this year I have a sense that Java patterns may linger, like a PTSD but from porting - a PTPD. The project: http://yosaiproject.github.io/yosai http://yosaiproject.github.io/yosai Would you read blog posts about porting Java to python if I wrote them? I was considering applying to talk about this at PyCon.

  A less labor intensive approach might be a youtube channel, I really liked this Python one: https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex https://www.youtube.com/user/sentdex

  Blog posts like that might be interesting. I'm not really looking to port any existing code over. Just kind of wanting to get my mind thinking in Python-esque concepts coming from a Java background. Thanks for the link though I'll browse through your project.

https://antrix.net/static/pages/python-for-java/online/ https://antrix.net/static/pages/python-for-java/online/ seemed quite good, but I didn't go into it in any depth because I already know Python.

  That one looks good. Thank you!

Though fairly old and a bit outdated (on both sides), PJE's "Python is not Java" remains an interesting resource for the deep ideological differences between the languages: http://dirtsimple.org/2004/12/python-is-not-java.html http://dirtsimple.org/2004/12/python-is-not-java.html
