Convert KGL to PY

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert KGL to PY?
Yes - KGL converts to PY.

Rename the .kgl to .zip and unzip it with any archive tool to get the bundled Python files (typically main.py and __memory__.py). This extracts existing Python code - it does not translate Kagsa into Python.

Why convert KGL to PY?

A Kagsa library .kgl is literally a ZIP archive of Python source, so pulling out the .py files is just an unzip operation. Developers do this to read, debug, or reuse the Python code that powers a Kagsa library.

How to convert KGL to PY

7-Zip OPEN-SOURCE

Rename library.kgl to library.zip, right-click and choose 7-Zip > Extract Here, then open the extracted main.py and __memory__.py.

unzip (command line) FREE

Run unzip library.kgl -d library_out - the .kgl is a valid ZIP, so unzip extracts the .py files directly without renaming.

Kagsa OPEN-SOURCE

The Kagsa runtime handles .kgl libraries natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux, loading their Python code when your .kg script imports them.

Quality & what to watch

  • You get the Python files that already exist inside the archive - this is extraction, not a translation of Kagsa syntax into Python.
  • A .kgl typically contains only main.py and __memory__.py, so don't expect the full source of your .kg program.
  • Some tools unzip a .kgl directly; others need the extension renamed to .zip first.

Frequently asked questions

Does extracting a .kgl give me all my Kagsa code as Python?
No - it gives you the Python files packaged in that library, usually just main.py and __memory__.py, not a translation of your .kg scripts.
Do I have to rename .kgl to .zip first?
With unzip on the command line usually not, but graphical tools like 7-Zip may need the .zip extension to recognize it.
Is a .kgl really just a ZIP file?
Yes - it is a renamed ZIP archive containing Python source files used by the Kagsa language.
