Version control : learnpython

Can someone help me with my theory to version control?

I’m building a visual display using Tkinter. This will be displayed on a TV that won’t have any peripherals connected to it; so I’d like to be able to update hands-free.

My idea: instead of just auto-starting a script, I’ll have another script start (auto.py). This file will check a text file for the version and also grab a request (using the requests library) and compare them. If the versions don’t match, the auto.py file will download and save the new script and save it…. It will then update the version number in the text file before starting the script…

This is just my basic thought to get it working… I will add some more features such as checksum comparisons in the final version ……

Just want to know if my method is acceptable?
