Pronto2lirc

I need a bit of help finishing the porting of a simple program from python to visual basic:
http://www.nabble.com/New-tool-for-c...d17161702.html

The program just reads a string from a file and process it to generate another text file in different format. I'm not so skilled in python, so I can't translate these functions:

Code:

---

def CreatePulses(self,sItems):
        self.dPulseWidths=[]            # Table of Pulse widths. Length is repsented in microseconds

        for i in sItems:
            self.dPulseWidths.append(1000000*long(i,16)/self.dIRFrequency) # Convert pulse widths to uS

        if len(self.dPulseWidths)<>2*(self.lOnceSequenceLength+self.lRepeatableSequenceLength):
            raise "Number of actual codes does not match the header information!"

    def AnalyzeCode(self,sCodeName,sHexCodes):

        sHexTable=sHexCodes.split()
        self.sCodeName=sCodeName.rstrip()  # Name of the Code associated with code sequence

        self.ProcessPreamble(sHexTable[:4]) # First four sequences make up Preamble
        self.CreatePulses(sHexTable[4:])    # The rest are OnceSequence + RepeatableSequence
        return self.dPulseWidths[-1]        # Final gap=last off signal length

---

Any help?

So nobody can help?!?
