# PyPiUpdater
**UNFINISHED** Still early code, functions might change drasticly

**PyPiUpdater** is a Python library for managing updates of packages installed via `pip`.

## Features
- Check the latest version of a package on PyPI
  - Determine if an update is available
- Upgrade the package using `pip`
- Restart the Python script after updating

## Installation

```bash
pip install PyPiUpdater
```

## Usage example
**NOTE:** Example only work for client application, GUI apps such as OptimaLab35 with QT need also to close the window and should not use the restart function.

**Now the example by ChatGPT:**

Here's a short example code snippet for your `PyPiUpdater` package to include in your README:

```python
# Example usage of PyPiUpdater

from PyPiUpdater import PyPiUpdater

# Initialize the updater with the package name, current version, and log file path
updater = PyPiUpdater(package_name="OptimaLab35", local_version="0.7.0", log_path="update_log.txt")

# Check if an update is available (optionally forcing the check, otherwise only checked every 20 hours(default set with update_interval_seconds = int seconds))
is_newer, latest_version = updater.check_for_update(force=False)

if is_newer:
    print(f"Update available! Latest version: {latest_version}")
    # Update the package using pip
    success, message = updater.update_package()
    print(message)
    if success:
        # Restart the program after update
        updater.restart_program()
else:
    print("No update available or checked too recently.")
```

### Explanation:
- The example shows how to initialize the `PyPiUpdater` class with the package name, current version, and the path to a log file.
- It checks for an update by calling `check_for_update()`.
- If an update is available, it proceeds with updating the package using `update_package()` and restarts the program with `restart_program()`.
- If no update is available, or it was checked too recently, it prints an appropriate message.
