Can i place RenPy statements within a Python block?

[SONTSE]

Well, i do afraid this query leads to a really ugly coding solutions, but i was asked for this, and don't know the answer, so now i wonder.
Question is:
I know i can place a Python code within RenPy script, thats easy

Code: Select all

#my renpy statements
python:
    #my python statements

what i need is once i'm on a python block to make a renpy statements something like:

Code: Select all

#my renpy statements
python:
    #my python statements
    RenPy():
        #my other renpy statements

though i thats pretty much to expect, so maybe something like

Code: Select all

python:
    #my python statements
    renpy.execute([
        "transform transformexample:",
        "    xalign 0.0",
        "    linear 4 xalign 1.0",
        "    repeat"], init = True)

for now i think the best way to push renpy code within python block is statement equivalents, but i don't know equivalents to every statement,
and sometimes i don't have free time and/or effort to acknowledge, so need some solution that works no matter how ugly it is ^^ thanks for listen my tirades

I don't know about the Ren'Py environment. But there are at leasr two ways to deal with that.

1. Find out the python commands.
E.g. this

Code: Select all

scene bg world
"You notice Eileen"
show Eileen happy at right with fade
Player "Hello Eileen!"

translates to this

Code: Select all

python:
    renpy.scene()
    renpy.show('bg world')
    narrator("You notice Eileen")
    renpy.transition(fade)
    renpy.show('Eileen happy', at_list=[right])
    Player("Hello Eileen!")

2. Put the Ren'Py code somewhere else.

Code: Select all

python:
    renpy.call('thingsHappen')
label thingsHappen(**kwargs):
    scene bg world
    "You notice Eileen"
    show Eileen happy at right with fade
    Player "Hello Eileen!"
    return

Please notice it's not important if you use "these" or 'these' quotation marks. I just like to visibilly divide dialog and simple strings.

Also, note that making all the coding inside a python block will lead to problems with saving / restoring your game - http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/save_load ... n-py-saves

Thanks Ayutac for useful answer!

1. Find out the python commands.

I think I gonna stick to that method, because...

2. Put the Ren'Py code somewhere else.

Seems doesn't work quite right. running the following code...

Code: Select all

            python:
                e("python things happen")
                renpy.call('thingsHappen')
                e("another python things happen")
            label thingsHappen(**kwargs):
                "RenPy things happen"
                return

after narrating "RenPy things happen" it returns to Main Menu, as if "return" meaned the end of entire story.

Also, note that making all the coding inside a python block will lead to problems with saving / restoring your game - http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/save_load ... n-py-saves

Thank you Alex for this important notice. I'll make sure savegame is not available while these scripts gonna run.

I think question is still up until i get clear answer that i cannot do it in a way i imagined(in which i almost sure now)
