I can't find any documentation in the PSSE32 docs about an API for pssplt, so I can only conclude that there isn't one. Does anyone know any differently?
Which means I'll be using subprocess.Popen or similar if I want to run a command like:
pssplt32 -inpdev "some_math.idv"
from a larger python script. Which really isn't that bad, but I'd rather not spawn a subprocess unless I have too.
PSSE migrates away from PSSPLT
PSS™E will ship with PSSPLT to allow continued use of existing scripts and until the complete feature set has been migrated.
I found this article dated 2008. One of the reasons for no API might be that they planned to migrate away. Back when version 29 was king I used to automate from Python using idev files and subprocess just they way you are doing it with pssplt.

Do you know if there is a way to plot using excel, matlab or matplotlib instead of pssplt?
@JervisW This time I'm getting tabular data. It looks like the PSSE API supports data retirevial (pssarrays) which should give me what I need to send it to matplotlib if that time comes, and there's the pssplot.exportplot which I haven't tried yet.
