If you have a newly installed (virgin) system, you can easily update it with this script.

I've tested it with Python 2.7 under Ubuntu Linux.

Installation

jabbatron is now available via pypi:

sudo pip install jabbatron

Or, simply download jabbatron.py and launch it. One of the design goals is to keep this script self-contained, so it will always be just one file without any dependencies (or with some minimal dependencies).

With the command "h" you can get help any time. You can also type in any keyword and the script will show related modules. Example:
