[SOLVED] Launching the equivalent of the wapt-get command in a package

Hello,
I'd like to perform the equivalent of the following two commands in a Python package:
`wapt-get -u -f upgrade`
and `wapt-get waptwua-install`.
I can't find anything in the "Setuphelpers for Windows" documentation, and using the `run` function doesn't seem to complete the process.
What functions should I use?
Thank you in advance.

Good morning
In the `def install()` function, you have a WAPT object available that represents the WAPT engine
https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-create- ... pt-package
Code: Select all
from common import WaptWUA
def install():
WAPT.install('tis-firefox-esr')
wc = WaptWUA(WAPT)
wc.install_updates()

Hello,
thank you for the feedback.
I assume the WAPT object is an implementation of the Wapt class, which is in common.py?

This is the Wapt class from common.py, already instantiated (this is the Wapt engine, already instantiated)

Hi Sébastien,
to add to Simon's answer, I wanted to point out that WAPT.install() requires access to the WAPT repository to be available when def install() is run. This is often not the case with laptops connected via VPN in a user session or with 802.1x machines.
We're considering adding a WAPT.add_package_as_needed() function that could add the package as a local dependency so it's installed even if the connection isn't available when def install() is run.
Regards,
Denis
