Package: mbhupdater
MBH UpdaterA Python script designed for frontend updating of files.
Not intended for use as a GIT alternative for backend programming.OverviewThis is a fairly simple program that will copy files from online and keep the file structure. For example, if you have/path/to/file/code.txtand/path/to/code.txt, it will keep those files in those folders locally.DocumentationUpdater classWhat each class variable means.class Updater(object):

def __init__(local_version_file="version.txt",
            latest_version_file="new_version.txt",
            latesturl=False, new_files=[],
            new_filesurl=True, output=True,
            source_file="", source_file_enabled=True,
            source_fileurl=True, files_offset=0)
    """
    local_version_file: The downloaded version of the software.
    Should contain a number, like 1, 1.2, 1.234.
    latest_version_file: Likely stored online. This is the latest version of the software.
    Should contain a number, like 2, 2.3, 2.345.
    latesturl: Boolean. Whether or not the file stored at latest_version_file is a url.
    new_files: Array. Contains the location of the files to update if the versions don't match.
    new_filesurl: Boolean. Whether or not the items listed in new_files are urls.
    output: Boolean. Whether or not to write to screen. Ignored for TQDMUpdater.
    source_file: (optional) The location of the source file (where all files required to pull
    are stored).
    source_file_enabled: Boolean. Whether or not to use the source file feature.
    source_fileurl: Whether or not the source file is stored online.
    files_offset: Integer. Contains the folder offset to add to URLs when pulling from online. (eg. If the url is http://files.net/files/source/file.txt, and files_offset is 1, it will be pulled into /source/file.txt. If the offset is 2, it will not be stored in an extra folder.)

If you're using it, this is how you would format it:http://www.location1.com/file/file.txt
http://files.server.net/files/code.py
[DELETE]
/local/path/to/file.txt
/local/path/to/file2.txt
/old/thing/file.txt
/old/folder/
/temp/Make sure to include thehttp://orhttps://for online files, otherwise it will not output to the correct folder and may crash.Any files under the[DELETE]tag will be deleted instead of updated/created. The path for deletion must be a local file, not a URL.If you want to delete a folder, you must have a/at the end.Getters and settersPretty easy to guess what they do, they just use the variable names in the functions. Here's a list:# Getters
get_local_version_file()
get_latest_version_file()
get_latesturl_status()
get_files_offset()
get_new_filesurl_status()
get_output_status()
get_local_version()
get_latest_version()
get_source_file_enabled()
get_source_fileurl_status()
# Setters
set_local_version_file(local_version_file)
set_latest_version_file(latest_version_file)
set_source_file(source_file)
set_files_offset()
toggle_latesturl()
toggle_new_filesurl()
toggle_output()
toggle_source_file_enabled()
toggle_source_fileurl()All functions have descriptions that will show up in IDEs.Other functions# Other functions
compare_versions() - Returns True if the versions match and False if the local one is out of date.
read_files()       - Reads the content of the version files. Must use before get_local_version() or get_latest_version()
