pywinupdate
Python-controlled search and installation of Windows updates via WinRM and Ansible. Searches for available Windows updates on a remote host and installs them one by one, rebooting and resuming as needed.
Part of the OSWatcher project, where it's used to install updates on Windows VMs one at a time so each update can be captured as a separate snapshot.
