How to update IDF version with Python on Windows.

I would like to update IDF files through python on Windows. I know EnergyPlus includes the IDFVersionUpdater.exe GUI which lets you update one or multiple IDFs files as described here: https://unmethours.com/question/27275/idfversionupdater-using-commandline/.

However I am looking to build a workflow that will automate the IDF update process, in addition to running the IDF and processing the energyPlus results.

I found an example library that does this for Linux and MacOS. I am looking to replicate this functionally on windows. https://idf-updater.readthedocs.io/en/latest/`
