There are two issues,

First, the 'encoding' issue:

Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "\Mac\Home\Desktop\Dynamicsimulation.py", line 314, 
in <module> dyntools.CHNF('C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSEXplore34\EXAMPLE\AA.outx') 
File ".\dyntools.py", line 1023, 
in init File ".\dyntools.py", line 351, 
in _outextractdata File ".\dyntools.py", line 326, 
in outextractid File ".\comonpy.py", line 176, 
in byte2unicode File "C:\Python27\lib\encodings\utf8.py", line 16, 
in decode return codecs.utf8decode(input, errors, True) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xee in position 2: invalid continuation byte

It could be that your py code has an unrecognized character. Add as the first line in your code,something like:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

There are different 'coding' options, check the net for others.

The second issue is the *.outx format of the simulation output file output, which is not compatible with the dyntools (at least in v.33). Check the post "PSS/e 34 dyntools module"
