What you can do, is to use the subsystem retrieval functions, they are in the API manual, either Chapter 8 or 9. They would allow you to get the data of different elements, e.g., buses, machines, plant buses, etc.. You could then make a XLSX file with the excelPy module shipped with PSSE, and then print those data into it.

Note that, there are a lot of functions, and some values of the elements are in complex form that may need further separation.

Also note, that, for PSSE 32, some functions for the induction machines are actually not implemented and they would just return None. You would need to work around them by using other functions.

Then, you could build a small GUI with wxPython, which is what I am doing.

By the way, the data retrieval functions can get a lot more info than what PSSE shows. For example, they can get all the power flows (P and Q) on all branches. I find this very useful since I could include them in the branch worksheet.
