Are these available? Any good ones to recommend?

I recommend not doing that. You'd end up with ugly and unidiomatic Python
code that's impossible to maintain, whereas you now (hopefully) have
somewhat idiomatic Java code that should be reasonably maintainable.

If you want to integrate Python code with Java code, take a look at Jython
instead. If that's not what you want, then feel free to unveil your intentions.

Yes and no.

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.

The only use case for such a program that I can think of is a compiler
that is just using another language as an intermediate step, and that
language is usually going to be compiled (for example, several compilers
for different languages emit C code) or some other virtual machine like
a Javascript engine.

I don't want to put this too harshly, but the job of translating from
one language to another, and making the code idiomatic and maintainable
is up to you the programmer.  If you are a programmer you should be able
to easily do this, even if you have not worked with the source language
before.
