Subject: [PATCH] aider: Added a script to check the latest version of the
 'aider' package on PyPI and compare it with the current installed version.

# Aider chat conversation:

USER: write a script that checks pypi to see if a newer version of aider is available

ASSISTANT: To accomplish this, we will use the `requests` and `bs4` (BeautifulSoup) libraries in Python to scrape the PyPI website for the latest version of the `aider` package.

We will add this script to the `aider/versioncheck.py` file.

Here are the steps:

1. Import the necessary libraries.
2. Define a function that sends a GET request to the PyPI page for the `aider` package.
3. Parse the HTML response to find the latest version number.
4. Compare this version number with the current version of `aider` installed in the system.
5. Print a message indicating whether a newer version is available.

Here is the code:

```python
aider/versioncheck.py
<<<<<<< ORIGINAL

=======
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import pkg_resources

def check_version():
    response = requests.get('https://pypi.org/project/aider/')
    soup = BeautifulSoup(response.text, 'html.parser')
    latest_version = soup.find('h1', {'class': 'package-header__name'}).text.split()[-1]
    current_version = pkg_resources.get_distribution('aider').version

    if pkg_resources.parse_version(latest_version) > pkg_resources.parse_version(current_version):
        print(f"A newer version of 'aider' is available: {latest_version}")
    else:
        print("You are using the latest version of 'aider'.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    check_version()
>>>>>>> UPDATED
```

Please note that this script assumes that `requests`, `bs4`, and `pkg_resources` are installed in your Python environment. If not, you can install them using pip:

```bash
pip install requests beautifulsoup4 setuptools
```
