Thanks for the pointer! So I ran one of my modules through and 
generated an AST, and get results similar to:
```
Module(
    body=[
       Import(
          names=[
             alias(name='sys')]),
       FunctionDef(
          name='pout',
          args=arguments(
             posonlyargs=[],
             args=[
                arg(arg='item')],
             kwonlyargs=[],
             kw_defaults=[],
             defaults=[]),
          body=[
```
etc.

I presume I'll now need to write something that parses this into 
D source (maybe with the assistance of a module provided above).  
Before I do that, is this syntax general enough that a Python-AST 
to D source converter may already exist?  Obvious searches in 
google and the D package index didn't turn up anything.

I have no background at all in working with ASTs, in fact my 
formal education is not even in CS, so I'm way outside my 
wheelhouse at this point.
