how to start the conversion script ?

[federosso]

I can't understand how to start the conversion script ..
I know PHP but not Py
I need to convert this script:

See this closed issue. I was struggling too

You'll also need to install Python 2 (not 3) and ensure it is in your PATH variable

Thanks, this really helped!
