One quick solution would be to install a cvs client together with 
python. This would update just those files that have changed. Your 
clients could even rollback to an earlier release should there be any 
problems.

It doesn't have to be cvs. Some of the newer source code control systems 
  have the ability to update through HTTP, should there be some 
restrictions because of a firewall.

A command line client would be quite enough as you would be calling it 
from your program anyway. There is no need for your clients to learn 
anything about it.
