Add version check at application startup

Is this to check the version of itself or the version of Python?

We are supposed to maintain a JSON file in the repo secrets and that is what the executable would be stating on every startup as a version check.

I'd like to have a go at this. Haven't really read all the code yet though so don't feel bad about not assigning it to me.

Hi @jocke45. Take your time going through the code. It is easy and you'd certainly be done with it very soon. Once you know about the code, do reach out again and I'll assign it to you. 😄

Done reading the code 👍
Do I just to print out the version of wisdom-cli after running a command or was it something else that you meant?

So I want to read a json to get the version number ideally, do you have an example/template for it?

No. That can be viewed easily with the --version option.

This issue would take a lot of discussion to decide on how the semantic versioning would be maintained. The JSON would be maintained in this repo and every time, a version check is selected - the application should contact the server to see if there are new versions available or not.

So this issue is more of a discussion of how to implement a version check at first?

[gridhead]

For now, yes. It would be some time before we actually begin implementing this.
