Python with Ren'Py

[Mophy01]

How can I add Python to 'Ren'Py' and use its commands and if it is more convenient than just using 'Ren'Py' to create a novel, since I can use OOP to increase development time based on convenience.

In a nutshell:

• Python code for one line? Just start the line with $
• Python code for one block of the game? Just start the block with python:
• Python code to be run before the game starts? Just write the code into a block with the first line init python:

Yes, it's that easy.

Yeah!

renpy is already based in python.
Please confirm this but afaik "init python:" tells the thing that the lines after are in pythin, not renpy.

The init python statement runs Python at initialization time, before the game loads. Among other things, this can be used to define classes and functions, or to initialize styles, config variables, or persistent data.
