How can I make my tkinter program autoupdate?

I'm using python and tkinter to create a little program. I'd like to make the program check if the version the user is using is the most recent version. If not, then I'd like a window pop up to prompt the user to update. Then, I'd like my software to automatically install the newest version for the user. How would I go about doing this?
The first part seems pretty self-explanatory. A different stack overflow thread suggests having a text file with the correct version and then checking that against a text file that the user has. I'm not sure how to get the program to update itself though.
Edit:
adding some detail. Is it possible to use Python to download a git repository and deleting the old version the user has downloaded?

Here is the code I made:
Side Note: I dont know if you would want to download multiple or just one, the example I gave just download one
from tkinter import *
import requests
import os
import sys
VERSION = 0
def check_updates():
try:
link = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/User/Repo/Branch/SpecificFolderForUpdates/version.txt"
check = requests.get(link)
if float(VERSION) < float(check.text):
mb1 = messagebox.askyesno('Update Available', 'There is an update available. Click yes to update.') #confirming update with user
if mb1 is True:
filename = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0]) #gets current name of itself
savedrecordings = "Saved Recordings"
for file in os.listdir():
if file == filename: #Does not delete itself
pass
else:
os.remove(file) #removes all other files from the folder
exename = f'dcbot{float(check.text)}.exe'
code = requests.get("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/User/Repo/Branch/SpecificFolderToUpdate/file.exe", allow_redirects = True)
open(exename, 'wb').write(code.content)
root.destroy()
os.remove(sys.argv[0])
sys.exit()
elif mb1 == 'No':
pass
else:
messagebox.showinfo('Updates Not Available', 'No updates are available')
except Exception as e:
pass
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('800x400')
root.resizable(True, True)
root.title('Checking for updates...')
root.mainloop()

How to decode python string

I have some code which I would like to be decoded but not having much luck in guessing what the codepage is, if any is being used. Any help would be much appreciated.
i am using python command line in windows 7 pc,if any python guru guide me how to decrypt and see the code thaat would be appreciated.
exec("import re;import base64");exec((lambda p,y:(lambda o,b,f:re.sub(o,b,f))(r"([0-9a-f]+)",lambda m:p(m,y),base64.b64decode("NTQgYgo1NCA3CjU0IDMKNTQgMWUKNTQgOQo1NCAxOAozZiAgICAgICA9IGIuMTAoKQoxNiAgID0gIjQzOi8vMTIuM2QvNGMvMWQuMjUuZi00ZC4zZSIKYSA9ICIxZC4yNS5mIgoyYSA4KDYpOgoJMzMgMy5jKCczYy4yZSglNTIpJyAlIDYpID09IDEKCjJhIDE1KDM1KToKCTUgPSAzLjQoMWUuNS4xYygnMTM6Ly8yZC8xZicsJzMwJykpCgkyMyA1CgkyMSA9IDcuMTQoKQoJMjEuMzgoIjEwIDI4IiwiMjAgMTAuLiIsJycsICczNiA0MCcpCgkxMT0xZS41LjFjKDUsICdlLjNlJykKCTM5OgoJCTFlLjFhKDExKQoJMWI6CgkJMmMKCQk5LmUoMzUsIDExLCAyMSkKCQkyID0gMy40KDFlLjUuMWMoJzEzOi8vMmQnLCcxZicpKQoJCTIzIDIKCQkyMS4zNCgwLCIiLCAiM2IgNDciKQoJCTE4LjQ4KDExLDIsMjEpCgkJCgkJMy41MygnMjIoKScpOyAKCQkzLjUzKCcyNigpJyk7CgkJMy41MygiNDUuZCgpIik7IAoJCTE5PTcuMzcoKTsgMTkuNTAoIjMyISIsIjJmIDNhIDQ5IDQxIDI5IiwiICAgWzI0IDQ2XTMxIDUxIDRhIDRlIDE3LjNkWy8yNF0iKQoJCSIiIgoJCTM5OgoJCQkxZS4xYSgxMSkKCQkxYjoKCQkJMmMKCQkJIzI3KCkKCQk0Mjo0NCgpCgkJIiIiCgoyYSAyYigpOgoJNGYgNGIgOChhKToKCQkxNSgxNikKCQoKCjJiKCk=")))(lambda a,b:b[int("0x"+a.group(1),16)],"0|1|addonfolder|xbmc|translatePath|path|script_name|xbmcgui|script_chk|downloader|scriptname|xbmcaddon|getCondVisibility|UpdateLocalAddons|download|supermax|Addon|lib|supermaxwizard|special|DialogProgress|INSTALL|website|SuperMaxWizard|extract|dialog|remove|except|join|plugin|os|addons|Installing|dp|UnloadSkin|print|COLOR|video|ReloadSkin|FORCECLOSE|Installer|Installed|def|Main|pass|home|HasAddon|SuperMax|packages|Brought|Success|return|update|url|Please|Dialog|create|try|Wizard|Nearly|System|com|zip|addon|Wait|been|else|http|quit|XBMC|gold|Done|all|has|You|not|sm|MP|By|if|ok|To|s|executebuiltin|import".split("|")))

The code is uglified. You can unobfuscate it yourself by executing the contents of exec(...) in your Python shell.
import re
import base64
print ((lambda p,y.....split("|")))
EDIT: As snakecharmerb says, it is generally not safe to execute unknown code. I analysed the code to find that running the insides of exec will only decrypt, and leaving off the exec itself will just result in a string. This procedure ("execute stuff inside exec") is by no means a generally safe method to decrypt uglified code, and you need to actually analyse what it does. But, at this point, I was asking you to trust my judgement, which, if it is wrong, theoretically could expose you to an attack. In addition, it seems you have problems getting it to run on your Python; so here's what I'm getting from the above:
import xbmcaddon
import xbmcgui

addon = xbmcaddon.Addon()

I need a super-duper simple CGI Python photo upload

I've looked through tons of answers but the truth is, I only know super basic python and I really need help. I don't know the os module or anything like that and I can't use PHP (not that I know it anyway, but it's not permitted) and I need something so easy that I can understand it.
Basically, I need a CGI upload (I don't need the HTML form, I've got that much down) that will take the photo and save it. That's it. I don't need any fancy place for it to save, I just need the file to be properly uploaded from the form.
I've got various versions of this function and I can't get them working because I don't understand them so PLEASE HELP!!!
import cgi
def savefile (filename, photodoc):
form=cgi.FieldStorage()
name=form[filename]
period=name.split(.)
if period[1]=="jpeg" or period[1]=="jpg" or period[1]=="png":
idk what to do
else:
make an error message

This cgi program will "take the photo and save it. That's it."
#!/usr/bin/python2.7
import cgi
field=cgi.FieldStorage()['fieldname']
open(field.filename, 'wb').write(field.value)
Among the things it doesn't do are error checking and security checking, and specifying in what directory the files should be saved.

Duplicate question but here's what you need:
Depending if windows or linux, first set to binary mode:
try:
import msvcrt
msvcrt.setmode (0, os.O_BINARY)
msvcrt.setmode (1, os.O_BINARY)
except ImportError:
pass
Then:
form = cgi.FieldStorage()
name = form[filename]
period = name.split('.') #You need the quotes around the period
if period[1]=='jpeg' or period[1] == 'jpg' or period[1] =='png':
if upload.filename:
name = os.path.basename(upload.filename)
out = open(YOUR_FILEPATH_HERE + name, 'wb', 1000)
message = "The file '" + name + "' was uploaded successfully"
while True:
packet = upload.file.read(1000)
if not packet:
break
out.write(packet)
out.close()
else:
print 'Error'

Python Precommit hook, Looking at lines for some text

Hello, my question is regarding a Python script I am trying to get to work. The point of this is that when someone makes a SVN Commit they see a login template with four lines: Branch, Bug_Number, Feature affected and Overview. Now I am trying to write a script to make sure that they wrote something on it to make sure no one enters a empty log to commit.
Here is what I have so far in python its based on a old python script.
print "Importing the items"
import re
import sys
import os
print "Initializing the list."
argsList = []
hndFile = open(sys.argv[1],"r")
for line in hndFile:
argsList.append(line)
hndFile.close()
print "Checking what is blank"
faOK = ovOK = False
for line in argsList:
line = line.strip()
if line.startswith('FEATURE_AFFECTED:'):
faOK = line[17:] != ''
if line.startswith('OVERVIEW:'):
ovOK = line[9:] != ''
if not faOK:
print "You Must Enter the Feature Affected"
ret = -1
elif not ovOK:
print "You Must Enter an Overview of the Fix"
ret = -1
else:
ret = 0
print "Finishing the script"
sys.exit(ret)
Any advice would help. I am using Windows XP and currently nothing is happening. I am also using collabnet svn. Currently nothing is happening when I try to run this script. I know I haven't added svnlook in the script I cant really think of where to add and for the variable for it. Thank you.

git server side hooks

I am running into a problem when running the follow python script on the server looking for commit information for the push making sure it follows a particular syntax, I am unable to get input from the user which is why the username and password are hard coded. I am now also unable to get the list of commit message that occurred before this particular push.
#!/usr/bin/python
import SOAPpy
import getpass

import logging

auth = soap.login(x, y)

print group

for match in group:
auth = soap.login(jirauser,passwd)
getIssue(auth,match)
issues = issues + 1
found+=1
if found ==0:
sys.exit("No issue patterns found.")
print "Retrieved issues: " + str(issues)
def update():
print sys.argv[2]
print sys.argv[3]
old_commit_id = sys.argv[2]
new_commit_id = sys.argv[3]
commit_id_array = git_get_array_of_commit_ids(old_commit_id, new_commit_id)
for commit_id in commit_id_array:
commit_text = git_get_commit_msg(commit_id)
findpattern(commit_text)
soap = SOAPpy.WSDL.Proxy('some url')
# this line if for repointing the input from dev/null
#sys.stdin = open('/dev/tty', 'r') # this fails horribly.
#ask user for input
#jirauser = raw_inp
#("Username for jira: ")
jirauser = "username"
passwd = "987654321"
#passwd = getpass.getpass("Password for %s: " % jirauser)
login(jirauser,passwd)
#commit_msg = getCommitText()
#findpattern(commit_msg)
update()
The intended goal of this code is to check the commits made locally, and to parse through them for the intended pattern, as well as checking the in jira if that PR exists. it is a server side hook that get activated on a push to the repository.
Any tips on writing python hooks would be appreciated. Please and thank you.

I suggest that you have a look at gitorious (http://gitorious.org/gitorious).
They use ssh to handle authentication and rights management (getting the username given by ssh).
They also have some hooks on git repositories. I guess it could help to see how they are processing git hooks using ruby.

By the time your update hook fires, the server has the new commits: the question is whether your hook will allow the ref in question to move. What information from the local (sending) repository do you want?
For the credentials issue, funnel everyone through a single user. For example, GitHub does it with the git user, which is why their SSH URLs begin with git#github.com:.... Then in ~git/.ssh/authorized_keys, associate a username with each key. Note that the following should be on a single line but is wrapped for presentation purposes.
no-agent-forwarding,no-port-forwarding,no-pty,no-X11-forwarding,
command="env myuser=gbgcoll /usr/bin/git-shell -c \"${SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND:-}\""
ssh-rsa AAAAB...
Now to see who's trying to do the update, your hook examines the $myuser environment variable.
This doesn't give you each user's Jira credentials. To solve that issue, create a dummy Jira account that has read-only access to everything, and hardcode that Jira account's credentials in your hook. This allows you to verify that a given PR exists.
