Python Implemented Server Update system practice

Server-Client update system

File written in Python 2.7

File structure (Initially)

• Server side: 3 files
  • config.csv - The configuration file which stores the version from Server side.
  • Toy_setting.csv - The setting file which will be set as parameter updating for mailfile.
  • Toy.py - The main file in which we want to run and updates.
• Client side: 1 file
  • Update.py

---

Run code

On server side Terminal we change to the desired directory then initiate Server :

cd /desktop/
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000

On client side Terminal:

cd home/ubuntu/CL_update
python Update.py

---

This update file program is mainly to

1. Set up connection from client to server via http.
2. Download and start the running background program__mainfile__ .
3. Download setting file setting for mainfile .
4. Update mainfile & setting if the version is higher in Server/config.csv and config.csv & file's version matches.

---

• Note that in mainfile commands MUST NOT EXECUTE in IMPORTING; i.e. setif __name__ == '__main__' on the execution scripts. ( In the check_output_cmd we import version from mainfile )
• Version setting is controled by StrictVersion soshould be set carefully in furthur __mainfile__setting
