Speaking of test, here's some code I wrote to do basic testing 
use Test::Simple tests => 7;

sub cpi
{
# the converter goes here
}

$a =
'>> no snake here
>>> or here

I agree';

$b =
'>> and neither should this
>>> be understood snakily
>>> because it is a nested quote
>> yes I know it is not really named after a snake
';

$c =
'>>
>>>no snake
>>>no snake
';

$d=
'>>> still no snake seen
>> right!
';

$snakea =
'>>> i = j
';

$snakeb =
'>>> i = j + 1
>>> q

is good code';

$snakec = 
'>> does this work right?
lets see:
>>> i = test(func)
';

ok (cpi($a) eq $a);
ok (cpi($b) eq $b);
ok (cpi($c) eq $c);
ok (cpi($d) eq $d);

ok (cpi($snakea) eq 
'PYTHON_PROMPT_PROTECTED i = j
');
ok (cpi($snakeb) eq
'PYTHON_PROMPT_PROTECTED i = j + 1
PYTHON_PROMPT_PROTECTED q

is good code');
ok(cpi($snakec) eq
'>> does this work right?
lets see:
PYTHON_PROMPT_PROTECTED i = test(func)
');
