Having a newer kernel version installed kinda throws an exception

[StefanescuCristian]

I've recommended your script to my friends and on some forums and on of them asked me why the script gave him this error:
"Contacting http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Please enter an integer [0]: 0
Please enter an integer [0]: 0
Please enter an integer [0]:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "kmpd.py", line 96, in
print("You chose: {0}".format(kernels[selk-1]))
IndexError: list index out of range"

Reading the script and testing my theory I found that when you have a newer version installed than what version is available on the site leaves you with only one choice: killing the script.
My toughts are that it would be better to make a check and if the versions are equal, to print and inform the user that no newer kernel is available and then exit.
I've tried with no success to fiddle with the program and make it exit to shell.

Also, if you are running a custom kernel, altough comparing works, I think that it is better to use re.sub(r"-[\w]*","",platform.release()) instead of platform.release().replace("-generic","").

Will have a look into it, thanks for the bug report!

Can you ask your friend to send me the kernel release text string?
Using this command: uname -r

I've added a fix based on your recommendation, can you and your friends try it out?

[StefanescuCristian]

uname -r:
3.12.0-031200-generic

OK, it's fixed now, I wasn't using str.replace() properly, I have to use re.sub() for regular expressions.
