OpenDSSDirect.py is a cross-platform Python package implements a "direct" library interface [our customized implementation](https://github.com/dss-extensions/dss_capi) of [OpenDSS](http://smartgrid.epri.com/SimulationTool.aspx) using [DSS-Python](https://github.com/dss-extensions/dss_python/).
OpenDSS is an open-source distribution system simulator. See [OpenDSSDirect.jl](https://github.com/dss-extensions/OpenDSSDirect.jl) for a similar package in Julia, and for more context about this project and its components (including alternatives in MATLAB, C++ and C#/.NET), please check [https://dss-extensions.org/](https://dss-extensions.org/) and our hub repository at [dss-extensions/dss-extensions](https://github.com/dss-extensions/dss-extensions) for more documentation, discussions and the [FAQ](https://github.com/dss-extensions/dss-extensions#faq).
*As a reminder, although very compatible, this project is not supported by EPRI.*
**This package is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, including ARM and x86 variants.**
### Documentation
The documentation for this package can be found [here](http://dss-extensions.org/OpenDSSDirect.py).
### Installation
**Recommended**: Install Python using Miniconda or Anaconda
Open a command line interface and type the following.
```bash
pip install 'OpenDSSDirect.py[extras]'
```
See [installation](https://dss-extensions.org/OpenDSSDirect.py/notebooks/Installation.html) instructions for more information.
### Troubleshooting
It is recommended to use `conda` to install pandas, which is currently a dependency of this package.
This package interfaces with OpenDSS using the "direct" library interface, so a good understanding of OpenDSS will help troubleshooting.
There are plenty of useful resources located [here](https://sourceforge.net/p/electricdss/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/Doc/).
If you are having issues using this Python interface, feel free to open an Issue on GitHub [here](https://github.com/dss-extensions/OpenDSSDirect.py/issues/new).
### Thanks
Thanks to @tshort, Davis, @temcdrm, @GordStephen, @Muxelmann and @PMeira for their contributions, as well as all the users for their valuable feedback.
