Track changes in python nodes in source control systems like git
Work on python code in your favorite code editor outside Dynamo. dyn2py can also update Dynamo graphs from the previously exported python files.

Installation

With pip from Github

Requirements: git, python, pip

pip install "dyn2py @ git+https://github.com/infeeeee/dyn2py"

Usage

As a standalone command line program

> dyn2py --help
usage: dyn2py [-h] [-v] [-l LOGLEVEL] [-n] [-F] [-b] [-f {py,dyn}] [-u] [-p path/to/folder] [source ...]

Extract python code from Dynamo graphs

positional arguments:
  source                path to a Dynamo graph, a python script or a folder containing them

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -l LOGLEVEL, --loglevel LOGLEVEL
                        set log level, possible options: CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, DEBUG
  -n, --dry-run         do not modify files, only show log
  -F, --force           overwrite even if the files are older
  -b, --backup          create a backup for updated files
  -f {py,dyn}, --filter {py,dyn}
                        only check python or Dynamo graphs, skip the others, useful for folders

dynamo options, only for processing Dynamo graphs:
  -u, --update          update Dynamo graph from python scripts in the same folder
  -p path/to/folder, --python-folder path/to/folder
                        extract python scripts to this folder, read python scripts from here with --update

The script by default overwrites older files with newer files.
Do not move the source Dynamo graphs, or update won't work with them later.
Multiple sources are supported, separate them by spaces.

As a python module

Full API documentation available here: https://infeeeee.github.io/dyn2py

Most basic example to extract all nodes next to a dynamo file:

import dyn2py

dynamo_file = dyn2py.DynamoFile("path/to/dynamofile.dyn")
python_files = dynamo_file.extract_python()
[python_file.write() for python_file in python_files]

Change options like with the command line switches with the Options class:

import dyn2py

# Create a backup on overwrite, read python files from a different folder:
options = dyn2py.Options(
    backup=True,
    python_folder="path/to/pythonfiles")

dynamo_file = dyn2py.DynamoFile("path/to/dynamofile.dyn")
python_files = dynamo_file.get_related_python_files(options)

# Read python files and update the graph:
[python_file.update_dynamo(options) for python_file in python_files]

# Don't forget to save at the end:
dynamo_file.write(options)
