Single-line chess notation (Chessable) to tree-like notation (ChessBase)

Question

Intro to problem

For those who are not familiar with it, Chessable contains high-quality content about "life-time repertories" of most of the main openings and defenses. However, the way they present the lines of moves is extremely inconvenient (see an example in the image below); Each line starts from move 1. forcing the user to play the first few moves over and over again.

Solution

The best way to browse through chess lines is in a tree-like structure, such as the one I manually keyed in below, using ChessBase:

Goal

The goal is to automatically compute the tree notation from Chessable single lines, so that it can be imported to software like ChessBase.

Attempt

I browsed to my target repertory in text-mode and copied the single lines into a text file using a text editor.

I tried to create a python program (failed attempt at the bottom) that converts the text file to tree notation (see example), but my programming skills are too poor. Essentially, if we export the tree notation (ChessBase) to a text editor, the syntax looks like this:

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nc3 d5 3. Bg5 g6 4. Qd3 Bg7 5. e4 (5. O-O-O c6 (5... Nbd7)) 5...
dxe4 6. Nxe4 Bf5 7. Bxf6 exf6

The new line, or variant, is introduced by a pair of parenthesis and the move number (e.g. 5..., for black, and 5. for white). I would appreciate help to convert single-line notation to tree notation. It could be useful to many chess fans.

with open('./text.txt') as f:
    list_of_lines = f.readlines()

list_of_lines = [line[:-1] for line in list_of_lines] # to remove /n
tree = ''
for idx, line in enumerate(list_of_lines[:2]):
    if idx == 0:
        tree += line
    else:
        prev_line = list_of_lines[idx-1]
        prev_moves = prev_line.split(' ')
        new_moves = line.split(' ')

        for prev in prev_moves:
            for i, new in enumerate(new_moves):
                if prev == new:
                    continue
                else:
                    if (i % 2) != 0:
                        variant = f' ({i}...'
                        variant += str(f'{new_moves[i:]})')
                        (' ').join(variant)
                        tree += variant


print(tree)

[Solved] Update on Kentdjb's answer

Create .py file (e.g., tree.py) with the code from the accepted answer.
Create a .txt (e.g. veresov.txt) file with the single-line notation such as in "Attempt" example above.
To run the code, use python tree.py veresov.txt

It outputs the desired tree notation:

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. — Community, Commented Jan 29, 2022 at 5:37
An important point here seems to be why your failed attempt doesn't work. You say it fails, but not how. Are you trying to make a PGN move tree, and need the result to match that? Or is it something else? — user30536, Commented Jan 29, 2022 at 7:54

My script is simply wrong, because I don't have the skills to manipulate strings. — db_max, Commented Jan 29, 2022 at 7:58
Chessable has an option named "Browse Repertoire Tree" in the course page to show you the lines as if it is in an opening tree, does this satisfy your need? — Minot, Commented Jan 29, 2022 at 8:20
Just a quick note that using any chessable content in any computer program except in a browser on the chessable website itself violates chessable's terms. — Hauptideal, Commented Feb 1, 2022 at 13:14

Here's some Python code to attempt to get what you want, but you would likely have a richer set of tools to work with if you can represents your data in PGN format. The script reads the input file passed as the single command-line argument.

import re
import sys
# Create and print a tree of variations from individual lines of moves.
# The moves don't have a result terminator and neither does the output.

def createTree(lines : list) -> dict:   
    """ Create a tree from the variations """
    tree = dict()
    for line in lines:
        moves = [m for m in re.sub('[1-9][0-9]*\\.', '', line).split(' ') if m != '']
        node = tree
        index = 0
        while index < len(moves) and moves[index] in node:
            node = node[moves[index]]
            index += 1
        while index < len(moves):
            node[moves[index]] = dict()
            node = node[moves[index]]
            index += 1
    return tree

def printline(node : dict, moveNumber : int, whiteToMove : bool):
    """ Print the lines whose first moves are the keys 
        of the given node.
        Treat one as the main line and the rest as
        sub-variations. The order is arbitrary.
    """
    variations = list(node.keys())
    if variations != []:
        if whiteToMove:
            print(str(moveNumber) + '.', end = ' ')
        print(variations[0], end = ' ')
        for idx in range(1, len(variations)):
            print('(', end = '')
            print(moveNumber, end ='')
            if whiteToMove:
                print('.', end = ' ')
            else:
                print('...', end = ' ')
            print(variations[idx], end = ' ')
            printline(node[variations[idx]], moveNumber if whiteToMove else moveNumber + 1, not whiteToMove)
            print(')', end = ' ')
        if whiteToMove and len(variations) > 1:
            print(str(moveNumber) + '...', end = ' ')
        printline(node[variations[0]], moveNumber if whiteToMove else moveNumber + 1, not whiteToMove)

def printTree(tree : dict):
    """ Each key in tree is the first move of a game.
        Print each first move as a separate line.
    """
    for firstmove in tree:
        print('1.', firstmove, end = ' ')
        printline(tree[firstmove], 1, False)

if len(sys.argv) == 2:
    f = open(sys.argv[1])
    lines = f.read().strip().split('\n')
    tree = createTree(lines)
    printTree(tree)
else:
    print('Usage:', sys.argv[0],'file-of-lines')

your piece of code worked exactly as I desired, thank you so much. For those who might be interested, create a .py file with @kentdjb's code (e.g. tree.py), create a .txt file with your single-line notation (e.g. veresov.txt), and use this command: python tree.py veresov.txt. In your terminal the tree notation will be printed. — db_max, Commented Jan 30, 2022 at 9:45
I am pleased it is what you wanted. The programming technique you were potentially missing is recursion, which can be found in the implementation of my printline function, as trees are a recursive data structure. — kentdjb, Commented Jan 30, 2022 at 14:51

You could use https://github.com/permutationlock/merge-pgn to merge multiple games into a single game with variations.

Also you may want to look at the code. It is small and does not rely on string manipulation.
