pymel has a package to convert from Mel to Pyhon, it works for commands and all its flags, and even has a method to convert complete Mel files.

So on your example:

import pymel.tools.mel2py as mel2py

print mel2py.mel2pyStr('dgdirty -a;')

#result: dgdirty(a=1)

the only thing that you need to add the cmds import and the namespace to the command (i.e. from maya import cmds and "cmds." at the beginning)

here you can find more info
