Convert Python(.py) files to Ren'Py(.rpy)

[Human Bolt Diary]

If you happen to want to convert files from pure Python to Ren'Py Python, I've written a script to do that.

This may be of use to people who want to write .py files while developing, documenting, and testing, but ultimately want the finished product to be available in Ren'Py without the use of imports.

.rpy files generated by this script are identical to the .py files, except for all the code being placed inside a Ren'Py "init python" block.

Usage

From the command line

When called from the command line, multiple files can be specified at once, each separated by a space. The file extension should be omitted.

Code: Select all

python py_to_rpy.py file1 file2 file3

Into a specific destination

By default, new .rpy files are created next to the .py files. However, the --dest argument can be used to place them into a new folder.

Code: Select all

python py_to_rpy.py file1 file2 file3 --dest=my_folder

Strict Mode

By default, new .rpy files will preserve renpy imports that were in the .py file. However, these imports are normally unnecessary in .rpy files. To strip them out, use the --strict flag.

Code: Select all

python py_to_rpy.py file1 file2 file3 --strict

The following imports are stripped:

import renpy.exports as renpy

from renpy.{module} import {class}

Thanks for this! I probably won't be able to use anything like this for awhile, but it sounds really useful!

You can probably extend your script with more features, but for this task I believe this may do the same.

sed -r '1s/^/init python:\n /;2,$s/^/ /' source.py > dest.rpy
sed -r -n '/^(import renpy.exports as renpy|from renpy\.)/b;1s/^/init python:\n /;2,$s/^/ /;p' source.py > dest_strict.rpy
