## Updating Allegory Within Pythonista

I use an iPad as my primary computer. To run Parable I use [Apologue](/ios/apologue) and the standard *Allegory* interface under Pythonista.

With recent changes to Parable it has become possible to run Allegory without changes. (Previously a few things had to be removed manually before it would run). To make updating it easier I have written a quick script that will download the latest version.

    # coding: utf-8

    import requests
    import datetime

    url = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcx/parable/master/py/allegory'
    r = requests.get(url)

    with open('allegory.py', 'w') as f:
        f.write('# allegory updated ')
        f.write(str(datetime.date.today()))
        f.write('\n')
        f.write(r.content)
