Help me with my python code please

So I got this little python code and its job is to translate JS to Python and lets say umm i am very original so here is my code:
main.js

const myName = "John Doe"; function sayHello() {    console.log("Hello " + myName); } sayHello() a = {"Hello ": "Hey"} console.log(a);
```

main.py:

from functools import cache from variables import * import sys code = "" sys.argv.pop(0) place = str(' '.join(sys.argv)) with open(place, 'r') as file:    code = file.read()     code = code.replace('const','').replace('var', '').replace('let', '') code = code.replace('\n ', '\n').replace('//', "#").replace('/*', '"""').replace('*/', '"""').replace('function', 'def').replace('delete', 'del').strip() code = re.sub(r'(\s*){', r'\1:', code) code = re.sub(r'(\s*)}', '', code) print(code)

looks fine but the output is:
myName = "John Doe"; def sayHello() :   console.log("Hello " + myName); sayHello() a = :"Hello ": "Hey" console.log(a);
there is a problem with the a variable it should be: a = {"Hello": "Hey"}
can you please help me fix it

Fixed it
replaced the re script with this:
code = re.sub(r'(\s*)(?<!")(\{)(?!")', r'\1:', code)
code = re.sub(r'(\s*)(?<!")(\})(?!")', '', code)
