I Have created a python based tool for my teammates, Where we group all the similar JIRA tickets and hence it becomes easier to pick the priority one first. But the problem is every time I make some changes I have to ask people to get the latest one from the Perforce server. So I am looking for a mechanism where whenever anyone uses the tool a pop up should come up as "New version available" please install.
Can anyone help how to achieve that?
On startup, or periodically while running, you could have the tool query your Perforce server and check the latest version. If it doesn't match the version currently running, then you would show the popup, and maybe provide a download link.
I'm not personally familiar with Perforce, but in Git for example you could check the hash of the most recent commit. You could even just include a file with a version number that you manually increment every time you push changes.
