the _i
is a special variable that PSSE adds to the Python environment when you are running scripts from inside PSSE. Here is a list of the other special variables:
_i, _f, _s and _o
It is confusing to me why this variable is added without needing to import it.
When running your Python from outside of PSSE, you'll need to import the _i
.
from psspy import _i
Otherwise your program will stop with a NameError
which means: Python cannot find where this variable has been defined.
