[Wolfi Package Best Practice Guidance]: Python Package Maintenance & Automated Upgrade

[visalishalini]

Hi Team,

We have recently created an automated scheduled pipeline which builds an image using wolfi-base:latest as the base image, and installs python-3 and py3-pip using apk add command on top of this base image. We would like to add the below pip packages installation as part of this setup as well.

PIP Packages:

python-gitlab
PyYAML
gitpython
dpath
kubernetes
jsonschema
coverage
PyPubSub
requests_pkcs12

Since we would like to go with the best possible automated solution for upgrades, would like to clarify if it would be automatically upgraded when we add the above PIP packages via wolfi and it wouldnt require a manual upgrade for any other dependant package going forward.

Since I am new to this, please could you guide me further based on the best practice please?

Requesting your guidance in this . Looking forward to hear from you

Thanks & Regards,
Sri
