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!

    I literally listed two ways this could be dependent on the package manager and distribution you’re using in the other comment. But hey evidently you know best as you already know the solution to this problem…
