Description

The Python translator, by default, uses the python syntanic sugar syntax https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.5.1/reference/#gremlin-python-sugar

which translates queries from

g.V().range(0, 10).has("person", "name", "marko").limit(2).values("name")
 
to
g.V()[0:10].has('person','name','marko')[0:2].name
 

It is also missing some of the reserved words/global functions differences for built in Python keywords https://tinkerpop.apache.org/docs/3.5.1/reference/#gremlin-python-differences

• range
• filter
• id
• max
• min
• sum

 

The Python translator should be updated to:

 

1. Provide an option to translate to Python without the syntanic sugar
2. Use the proper reserved words/global functions
