The convert(expr, python) command accepts a Maple expression and returns a result suitable to use as input for Python[EvalFunction].

In this conversion, numeric literals and strings are left as is, and container structures such as tables and Arrays are replaced with references to equivalent Python structures.

Conversion of the following types is supported:

$\mathrm{convert}\left(\left[1\,5\,7\right]\,\mathrm{python}\right)$

$\left[1\,5\,7\right]$

$\mathrm{Python}:-\mathrm{EvalFunction}\left(''len''\,\left[1\,5\,7\right]\right)$

$3$

$\mathrm{pv}≔\mathrm{convert}\left(⟨1\,5\,7⟩\,\mathrm{python}\right)$

$\mathrm{type}\left(\mathrm{pv}\,\mathrm{python}\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

$T≔\mathrm{table}\left(\left[''dog''=''canine''\,''cat''=''feline''\right]\right)$

$T≔table\left(\left[''dog''=''canine''\,''cat''=''feline''\right]\right)$

$\mathrm{pd}≔\mathrm{convert}\left(T\,\mathrm{python}\right)$

$\mathrm{type}\left(\mathrm{pd}\,\mathrm{python}\right)$

$\mathrm{true}$

The convert/python command was introduced in Maple 2020.
