I urgently needed this for a project but I think it can be useful for others as well.

This script takes the weights and vertex groups from one object and copies them to another object based on the vertex indices.
This means the objects need to have exactly(!) the same topology but may be deformed in completely different ways. (E.g. a set of slightly different characters which are based on the same initial mesh.)


Usage:

Select target object first and the source object second, then just run the script from the text editor. (It's not an operator yet!)


This is really just an early draft, more to come when I have time.
