Hey, I was playing around with the CardDemo codebase and ended up translating the main COBOL programs to Python. Figured it might be useful for anyone exploring modernization options or just wanting to understand the business logic without reading COBOL.
What's in there

Notes
No pressure to merge, just thought someone might find it handy.
