What is a(n) RPY file?
RPY (Python Script) files are text files coded in the Python programming language. They are used to store written code for applications and other software programs. RPY files are organized into lines of code, and can be opened and viewed with a standard text editor. They must be saved with the proper .rpy extension for the code in them to take effect.
RPY files provide a wide range of tools that can be added into application programs, from automated commands and scripts that speed up computing processes to drawing libraries and user interface elements. RPY is also considered a cross-platform language, meaning code written for one OS can generally be used on other systems as well.
