Functionality to add new comics needs clarification

[sethtriggs]

So of the downloads, I have tried the Windows .exe and installing the Linux version via APT under Linux Mint.

There are two different versions of the Smackjeeves.py apparently, so one version will apparently not work since SmackJeeves changed its setup to a number-based URL. The version (for Linux?) that comes from the tarball has the new SmackJeeves URL format but I absolutely cannot make this run and I feel like I'm missing something in the instructions. There's a setup.py that does nothing because it has no setuptools, and running the "dosage" file (is it an executable) does nothing.

Now when I install on Linux, that installation process is painless, but I still can't update the comic because the smackjeeves.py is in the older URL format for SmackJeeves, and on top of that the smackjeeves.pyc file is apparently some sort of binary?

The long and short of this is, is there a simpler process for extending the comics, and polling the plugins to make sure the comic is properly listed?

Sorry, much of the documentation currently assumes a basic familiarity with Python development & Git workflows. I'm working on streamlining this process a bit and updating the documentation accordingly.

If you want to get deeper into Python development (and Git/GitHub workflows), I can suggest the tutorial Don’t be afraid to commit - If not, that's okay too, but please be a little bit more patient with me until I get around updating the documentation.
