pySAInt Manual

pySAInt is a data management tool designed to help SAInt users create, organize, and/or edit their SAInt datasets using Python. It contains a lightweight “clone” of the SAInt object model including networks, objects, scenarios, profiles, and events. With pySAInt, users can easily define these components and how they relate to one another as an energy model to be used in SAInt. pySAInt users can easily export their datasets in Excel format ready to be imported into the SAInt software. pySAInt also streamlines connecting to the SAInt API from Python and there also includes some limited support for writing results from SAInt to csv files.

pySAInt is supplemental to SAInt and is not designed to replace SAInt in any way. pySAInt is intended to be a “sandbox” in which experienced users of SAInt with some Python programming experience can automate/streamline their use of SAInt. Users should always refer to information directly from SAInt - including modeling results, log files, and other messages - for confirmation that their modeling work with SAInt is implemented as they intended. Liability for understanding how pySAInt can be leveraged to use SAInt properly is the sole responsibility of the user.
