Rewrite the update script in Python #112
Conversation
With various updates to this script such as having a different upstream for `memory64` and otherwise including the `wasm-3.0` test suite this script was getting relatively complicated which is typically not a great situation for any bash script to be in. Instead rewrite this script in Python to avoid many of bash's pitfalls and be a bit more readable/reviewable/modifiable.

Thanks for the review! I also fixed an issue where if the spec repo itself had changed tests a commit wasn't made, but that should be fixed now too. (also apologies for the "clearly I'm not a Python programmer" python) |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it would be great if this list could be a purely declarative list of strings/data, but I guess since we this dependency between elements is probably easier this way.

I haven't reviewed the code myself yet, but I have no special concerns here, and I trust the judgement of the people who have already reviewed it. |

Ok I'm going to go ahead and merge this and I'll be on the hook for any failures that happen in the near future from this refactoring... |

Oh wow it's significantly faster than before! The last auto-update run was 5.5 minutes and a manually triggered run was 0.5 minutes. Looks like stdout/stderr are interleaved there which isn't great though, but otherwise it seems to have at least run successfully in CI which is nice. |
