There’s a Python program that I update regularly. Every time I update the program, I need to modify a specific Python file to change its functionality. Instead of manually patching the file each time, I’d like to automate the process.

I’m looking for a way to automatically apply a patch to a Python file whenever the program updates or if the file doesn’t have the desired modifications.

Any advice or suggestions on how to automate this process would be greatly appreciated!

    Agreed. In Arch you can run a post-script after update in pacman, so you can update the python file. But I don’t know how other package managers deal with it
