What are common python program update strategies?

Question

I have a windows program that I created using python and py2exe. I would like to create an update function so that the software can be easily updated.

What are common ways to get around this?

Answer 1

When you package an application with py2exe, the result is usually one executable (possibly with some data files). This is easiest to update by simply prompting the user to download and install a new version from time to time (how do you check with the server that such a new version exists is another question).
