Spicetify Updater v2

Update Notes from C# to Python Version

Transitioning from C# to Python for the Spicetify Updater project brings several key improvements and introduces new features:

• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Unlike the previous C# version, the Python script runs natively across multiple operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS, without requiring additional compatibility layers or modifications.

• Enhanced Dependency Management: The use of Python and its ecosystem simplifies managing project dependencies. With Pygame for audio playback and the Keyboard library for input detection, setup and installation become more streamlined through the use of pip and requirements.txt.

• Interactive User Experience: The integration of the keyboard library allows for a non-blocking and responsive user interface. This is particularly evident in the cool cat ASCII animation feature, where users can exit the animation early by pressing a key.

• Ease of Maintenance and Extension: Python's readability and comprehensive standard library facilitate easier maintenance and future extension of the project. Adding new features or updating existing ones requires less effort compared to the C# version.

• Community Support: Python's vast and active community offers extensive resources, libraries, and tools, making it easier to find solutions and contributions for the project.

These updates aim to make the Spicetify Updater more versatile, user-friendly, and maintainable, ensuring the project's longevity and ease of use across different platforms.
