Automatic updating

[dirkgroenen]

Let Mopify automatically update itself. Should be possible with the tornado.web request handler and pip update.

Worth trying..

Added in next release (1.4.0)

Cool! I wanted something like this in mopidy-websettings.

Must say that it still isn't perfect since I haven't found a way to restart Mopidy after updating, but for now it's a nice gimmick.

There's some hack in websettings for restarting it when you're just running
it in the terminal but it doesn't work when it's a service. I played around
it before but lost interest. Will post back if we do find a nice solution.

Yes I've seen that hack, but I don't want to restart the whole system after updating. At the moment a reboot isn't always necessary. It depends on the changes made in Mopify. When changes have been made in the python core files a reboot is needed, but when only html, js and css files have been updates it isn't required.

There should be another (!) hack, maybe commented out, that just reloads
the python process rather than the whole system. And Yeh, a reboot is
complete overkill most of the time but I think getting something working
was the idea at the time.

I have been experimenting with restarting the process, but I haven't been able to do this successfully. The biggest problem I encountered was the process being killed (duh) which disables the ability to start a new process.

In the meantime I've created a new issue #87 where we can discuss further improvements to this feature.
