Supertool script to separate Residence events

Help
,
1

I decided try Supertool to fix some inaccuracy in my DB. I want separate my Residence events which have multiple citations. Each Residence event should have only 1 citation. And Residence date should be the same as citation date. Places for separate Residences should be the same as for common one.
I’ve already found all needed people, events and citations. But I need some help:

  • How create new events and attach citations inside by hande?
  • How detach citation from event by hande?
  • How detach event from person by hande?

Could anybody review my first code in Python pls? )))
I did not run it yet, only has written it in text editor according to Gramps 5.1 documentation The gramps.gen.lib Module — Gramps 5.1.0 documentation

Here is the final working script which separates one Residence event to multiple according to citations attached.

[title]
Separate Residence

[description]
# This script processes all individuals in the database and splits Residence events with multiple citations 
# into separate events, each linked to a single citation. This ensures that each Residence event only has 
# one citation attached to it.
