Get release version from GitHub with python

To automate the roundcube upgrade-process was necessary to download the latest archive from GitHub.
To identify the latest version just follow the latest release.

This trick will also work for any other GitHub project:

import requests
url = 'https://github.com/roundcube/roundcubemail/releases/latest'
r = requests.get(url)
version = r.url.split('/')[-1]

print(version)
