Description
This typescript:
namespace foo {
export const baz = 42
export namespace bar {
export const baz2 = 84
}
}
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function on_button_pressed_a() {
basic.showNumber(foo.bar.baz2)
})
converts to this python:
@namespace
class foo:
baz = 42
@namespace
class bar:
baz2 = 84
def on_button_pressed_a():
basic.show_number(foo.bar.baz2)
input.on_button_pressed(Button.A, on_button_pressed_a)
with these errors:
