Is there a relatively quick program out there to accomplish at least the basics of this? Just a few regexes? I’m willing to do some manual conversion, but this is a pretty big set of scripts.

Now several (4) years later this (almost certainly) can be done; though certainly not with RegEx.
I suggest future readers look to @Piotr Dabkowski’s answer..
Or some of the other answers. (I don’t know having not tried them)
Original Answer
Hm this is a hard one.
The definition of a compiler is translates from a higher level language to a lower level language.
eg python to machine-code.
or java to javascript (google has a rather famous compiler for this somewhere – its’ what makes google doc easier to make)
Python to javascript compilers abound.
technically javascript to python would be a decompiler. (afaik)
I found some speculation about a javascript-python converter here: follow the tread through. it mostly speaks of how it wouldn’t be too hard to do.
I can’t find anything , but that doesn’t mean it’s no out there.
Regex is not suitable, regex is suitable only for regular languages.
programming languages are not normally regular languages. see this
