I'm using a script to show the User Preferences dialog:

bpy.ops.screen.userpref_show('INVOKE_DEFAULT')

But it shows the preferences "input" tab, and I want it to show the "Ad-ons" tab. I tried using this:

bpy.types.UserPreferences.active_section

It didn't work. How can I do that?

You'd want to use

bpy.context.preferences.active_section = 'ADDONS'

I don't know if this is the correct way to do it, but I can tell you that it works.. Just put the name of your addon, as if you were using the search engine

bpy.ops.screen.userpref_show()
bpy.context.preferences.active_section = 'ADDONS'
bpy.data.window_managers["WinMan"].addon_search = "node wrangler"
