Python script

SUMMARY
You might be interested by this Python script I wrote to convert old .kino projects. I published it on Github:

Wow, thanks for the info! Have you ever considered to write a https://opentimeline.io adapter for it? OpenTimelineIO is also written in python and supported by Kdenlive. You can either contribute the adapter to otio it self or put in a separate repo and publish it on https://pypi.org/ This would allow not only to exchange between *.kino files and Kdenlive, but many other popular video editor as well.

The otio-drp-adapter (https://github.com/gilou/otio-drp-adapter) is a good reference for you, I think because with about 200-300 lines of code it has a similar size as your script.
