py2ren

A tool to automate the transformation of native python module to ren'py store module.

Requirements

• python >= 2.7

Installation

You can install with pip, pip install py2ren

Or you can download a py2ren release.

Usage

CLI usage

Located in the py2ren's parent folder, you can now use the command.

    python -m py2ren path [options]

Positional argument:

• path: target transformation path.

Options:

• -o, --out: the output folder for the transformation result.
• -n, --name: the base module name, must not contain spaces.
• -il, --init-level: the init level for the init expression.
• -c, --config: path to the configuration file.
• -nks, --no-keep-structure: flag to disable keeping the module structure.
• -fc, --force-config: flag to force the creation of the configuration file.
• -h, --help: show the help message and exit

For example, if you have the following file:

def say_hello(name: str):
    return "Hello, " + name + "."

And run the command

    python -m py2ren sample.py -n sample_module

After the conversion, you will get:

init -1 python in sample_module:
    def say_hello(name: str):
        return "Hello, " + name + "."

py2ren does not remove type annotations, so if you want better compatibility with renpy projects, you should remove them.

Module usage

You can also use py2ren as a python module; and continuing with the previous example, you can obtain the same result by doing the following.

# this script is located in py2ren's parent folder
import py2ren

py2ren.convert("filename.py", ".", "sample_module")
