We had a bit of a discussion not too long ago about the general topic. You can search in the list archive for "How to deploy seamless script updates to your clients" You've left a situation that isn't really very flexible since you say you don't want to copy the agent again. Nonetheless, I'll point you to a little bit of fiddling I did on this topic that you could just chew on and see if it makes any sense. It's not really "newbie" code. The basic idea is that you have a known location which contains a file with information about available releases; the module has a function a participating script can call to find out if it has a new version available. Link to my pointer to this: https://www.mail-archive.com/tutor@python.org/msg76681.html The rest of the discussion has some other good ideas in it too (a version control server may be able to provide a kind of solution). _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
