Exporting Shows

Any Show — whether hand-crafted or AI-generated — can be exported as a standalone Python script. The script is fully self-contained: it imports from flaight and supports --fly / --realtime flags out of the box.

Save to file

from flaight import save_script

path = save_script(show)                      # → ai_generated/show_<timestamp>.py
path = save_script(show, output_dir="shows")  # custom output directory
print(f"Saved: {path}")

Print to stdout

from flaight import to_script

print(to_script(show))

Running an exported script

python ai_generated/show_20260510_124002.py            # dry-run
python ai_generated/show_20260510_124002.py --realtime # real-time dry-run
python ai_generated/show_20260510_124002.py --fly      # real hardware

Example output

"""AI-generated drone show."""
