Is it possible to install an msi using python?

Is it possible to write a script in python that installs an msi? Or is it possible to make it through any other script?

AFAIK, it's possible to use WMI in Python, so you should be able to install MSI files using the Win32_Product.Install method.

You can use the antiquated os.system('msiexec /i whatever.msi'), or, better, the subprocess equivalent subprocess.call -- in either case, you can also add whatever further msiexec flags or arguments you desire (documentation in abundance here).
