This script worked perfectly for me. It converted a polygon thematic map with plain solid colours for each category. It gave a better output than going via Arc2Earth in ArcGIS which I have used previously. From the Windows command line I omitted the initial 'python' so just > avl2qml.py pathtothe.avl pathtothenew.qml Thank you, Snorfalorpagus!– user46588Commented Feb 16, 2015 at 13:58

I've written a small python script to convert ArcView 3.x Legends (.AVL) to QGIS styles (.QML):
https://github.com/snorfalorpagus/avl2qml
You can download the current version here:
https://github.com/snorfalorpagus/avl2qml/archive/master.zip
To use: python avl2qml.py pathtothe.avl pathtothenew.qml
It's only had limited testing, but I've had some good results with it.

Hi, I tried it, but there was an error "unexpected end of file in Line 1, Columme 1". However, I never used Python before and there were several error messages: No Module named pyobd. When trying to install pyodb "Unable to find vcvarsall". Got Python only with ArcMap, never installed it alone. Commented Nov 1, 2013 at 16:12

@Snorfalorpagus.I was able to convert an avl file for styling linestrings. Great! No I have one for Polygons and I get the following ERROR:
