A python module that will check for package updates.
Project description
update_checker
A python module that will check for package updates.
Only whitelisted packages can be checked for updates. Contact update_checker's author for information on adding a package to the whitelist.
Installation
The update_checker module can be installed via:
pip install update_checker
Usage
To simply output when there is a newer version of the praw
package, you can
use the following bit of code:
from update_checker import update_check
update_check('praw', '0.0.1')
If you need more control, such as performing operations conditionally when there is an update you can use the following approach:
from update_checker import UpdateChecker
checker = UpdateChecker()
result = checker.check('praw', '0.0.1')
if result: # result is None when an update was not found or a failure occured
# result is a UpdateResult object that contains the following attributes:
# * available_version
# * package_name
# * running_version
# * release_date (is None if the information isn't available)
print(result)
# Conditionally perform other actions
