I have a dxf file blocks.dxf containing multiple block entities. I have another dxf file in.dxf into which I need to import the block entities of the previous dxf file blocks.dxf.

How do I copy the block entities from one file to another using ezdxf Python module so that the copied blocks can be inserted anywhere in the in.dxf file?

For people still looking for an answer on how to copy block definitions:

    #generate list of blocks to import
    list_of_blocks = df_uni_temp[mask].RefNo2.tolist()

    doc_blocks = ezdxf.readfile('blocks.dxf')
    doc = ezdxf.readfile('in.dxf')
    importer = Importer(doc_blocks, doc)
    #iterate through list of blocks
    for b in list_of_blocks :
        print(b)
        importer.import_block(b)
    importer.finalize()
