I've made an .exe file by pyinstaller and distributed some users.

After distribution, if there is an bug, I re-freeze the program and re-distribute it, now. I thought, this is a very inefficient way.

I want to upload new version of script in my webserver, then the program is auto-updated by itself in a user computer.

Is there a good method?

Thanks in advance

  • I read the answer. But I wonder if there is the latest method to auto-update. – hoesang choi Dec 07 '20 at 07:54

        mb1 = messagebox.askyesno('Update Available', 'There is an update available. Click yes to update.')
        if mb1 is True:
            filename = os.path.basename(sys.argv[0])

            root.destroy()
            os.remove(sys.argv[0])
            sys.exit()
