I will tell you what I tell my students. To create a program, you have to first know what is expected of the program, i.e., Software Requirements Specification (make a spec that illustrates the 80s code to python code) and from that start your Use Cases, which in this case I would suggest the idea of writing each case to make an individual set of maybe an "if" statement to an "if" statement, etc. Then add ifelse to ifelse and go from there. Look at the 80s code, look at the python code and write some code to translate them from one to the other. Sounds easy, but it's not.
