The import_game_data.py script will read the information that can be read from the AoE2DE installation files and patch the data/datasets/100.json file with that information. The script will only print the updated JSON to standard output, it will not actually modify the file itself.

The script has been written with the help of uv to manage depedencies/venv. In brief, to install dependencies, and run the script:

# Install dependencies. It assumes you are in the scripts directory. This step is optional
scripts $ uv sync --script import_game_data.py

# Run the script
scripts $ uv run import_game_data.py

# To add a dependency, this how you would do it
scripts $ uv add --script import_game_data.py beautifulpackage

The script should automatically detect the installation location, both on Windows and Linux, but assumes it is installed through Steam.
