3D Ninjas Python Variant Exporter
Exports variants of your Python projects, e.g., to create a free and a commercial variant of your add-on from the same codebase.
If you have code like this:
__VARIANT__ = 'DEV'
def example():
if __VARIANT__ in ['DEV', 'PRO']:
print('PRO')
elif __VARIANT__ == 'FREE':
print('FREE')
example()Python Variant Exporter can export it for you to fit:
pve -d __VARIANT__=PRO example.py example_pro.py__VARIANT__ = 'PRO'
def example():
print('PRO')

Installation
Python Variant Exporter itself requires Python 3.9 or later. It can transform code for older Python versions, though.
pip install pveUsage
usage: pve [-h] [-e {replace,overwrite,skip}] [-i wildcard] [-t wildcard] [-c wildcard] [-d name[:type]=value] input output
positional arguments:
input input path
output output path
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e {replace,overwrite,skip}
defines behaviour when a target file or folder exists: "r" removes the entire output first, "o" overwrites existing files, "s" skips existing files (default: replace)
-i wildcard files and folders to be ignored, e.g. ".*" (default: ".*", "*.pyc")
-t wildcard files to be transformed if not ignored, e.g. "*.py" (default: "*.py")
-c wildcard files to be copied if not ignored or transformed, e.g. "*" (default: "*")
-d name[:type]=value define variables to be replaced, e.g. -d __VARIANT__=PRO -d __LICENSE_CHECK__:bool=True
