  Python reference implementation of The Update Framework (TUF)

  

Hello world! I want to recommend a wonderful open-source package called Tufup. It's a simple software updater for stand-alone Python applications. This package was created as a replacement for PyUpdater, given the fact that PyUpdater has been archived and is no longer maintained. However, whereas PyUpdater implements a custom security mechanism to ensure authenticity (and integrity) of downloaded update files, Tufup is built on top of the security mechanisms implemented in the python-tuf package, a.k.a. TUF (The Update Framework). By entrusting the design of security measures to security professionals, Tufup can focus on high-level tools.

  Example of a self-updating application using tufup.

PyUpdater was tightly integrated with PyInstaller, but Tufup is not. You can use Tufup with PyInstaller, as illustrated in the tufup-example, but it is not required. You can also use it with any other packaging method, or you can even distribute a plain python script or just any directory of files.

PyUpdater's handling of release channels was broken, Tufup should handle them just fine.

I would like more people to know about Tufup so that it improves even faster, as the developers are actively engaged in improving it. Tufup on Github: https://github.com/dennisvang/tufup Tufup on PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/tufup/
