EXECUTION OF .py FILES

[Johnaristidou]

Hello,

I am working on a project using digsilent and python like your project.

I just want to know how you execute these python files.

Do you execute them externally through digsilent or directly from pycharm or anaconda?

To be more specific,because I am a beginner on working with digsilent, I want to execute a python file using powerfactory module directly from pycharm. If I execute my script externally or embed my code in digsilent I get results. But if I execute the script from pycharm I have to face problems with powerfactory module. This issue does not have to do with python version which I use

Is it possible to execute a script directly through pycharm?

Looking forward to your reply
John

The examples in this repo are run inside PowerFactory itself.
To execute extrenally you have to load the powerfactory module in pycharm like so:
import sys
sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\DIgSILENT\PowerFactory 2018 SP3\Python\3.6')
import powerfactory as pf

I have tried this with the hello world example as it is given from tutorial with no result.It understands GetApplication function but no any other method

It gives me an error on PrintPlain function.

To be more specific I want output results from a script to be printed on pycharm console.

Is this possible?
Looking forward for your reply
John

Can you show your code?

[Johnaristidou]

Ok I will show you 2 photos using the LineLength script from the tutorial. The first one is from execution on pycharm where you can see that it gives me error. The second one is from powerfactory where the script executed succesfully counting the length of lines from my project I want those results to be printed on pycharm for further calculations [Image] [Image] Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Note that I executed this script externally in powerfactory not internally.I saved the script in powerfactory folder which is the external directory and I loaded it Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

It means your 'app' instance does not have an active object which has GetCalcRelevantObjects', from your posted code it means you don't have an active project. You didn't activate your project.

I activated it and then I executed my code in pycharm.I also tested helloworld.py script where is just a printing but it executed only in powerfactory Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Also it gives me an error for unresolved referrence to powerfactory module.The path to powerfactory module is correct but I don't know why.

Furthermore I noticed in tutorial guide where it says that python scripts can only be executed internally or externally only in powerfactory. Maybe powerfactory module is not available for externally use.I mean that I cannot execute scripts using powerfactory module outside powerfactory Am I correct?
