An updatable application package made with Python.

** WARNING! This software is experimental. It's lazy and carefree! To be used with caution! **

• Python 2.7.x

1. Dowload the first distribution from dist/puppa.
2. Copy it wherever you like.

• Run on the command line:
  (if you have done step 3)

  $ cd /my/path/to/
  $ python puppa -v
  

  (or)

  $ python /my/path/to/puppa -v
  

  If everything is fine you will be given this output:

  $ python puppa -v   
    v0.1
  

• Now update to the latest version:

  $ python puppa update
  $ python puppa -v   
    v0.3
  

• Update to a specific version:

  $ python puppa update 0.2
  $ python puppa -v   
    v0.2
  

• Purge the puppa:

  $ python puppa purge
  

In the command line run:

$ python puppa --help

to see a list of the enabled commands like:

$ python puppa --version
$ python puppa --path
$ python puppa --help
$ python puppa update 
$ python puppa purge

1. Download the sources
2. Make your modifications
3. Zip (yes, just $ zip or winzip) everything except for /dist folder
4. Rename puppa.zip to puppa (remove the extension)
5. Update the puppa file on your repository
