Patching Fun - Update

Looking around for a solution for a cleaner way of patching up my code on the Windows server, without installing the unixtools for windows, I eventually arrived at the python-patch tool. This nice little (less than 600 lines) tool allows you to have patch like capability and all deliciously packed in a Python script. Thanks techtonik!

So now I can just packup the patch.py Python script together with my patch file, and Walla! the admin at the other side can just run something like:

python patch.py diff_patch

to patch up my code. With a little modification, the patch.py can even generate a results.log for me to review the patch process. If anything were to go south, I can just send the reverse patch.

Now .... should I just get the script to autorun .... hmmm...
