PSSPLT in python

Is there a way to call up the PSSPLT module using python script? If so, what is the basic command for it? I know in cmd line, you can invoke the pssplt by using this command - call pssplt -gnikool off. I am looking for something similar using python either in the PSSE module or python IDLE.

Thank you!

You can run PSSPLT with a response file from Python in the following way:

import os 
pssbindir  = r"C:\Program Files (x86)\PTI\PSSE33\PSSBIN"
os.environ['PATH'] = pssbindir + ';' + os.environ['PATH']
os.system("pssplt -inpdev test.idv")

The response file may first be written by your script before calling upon PSSPLT.

Edit: Remember to have STOP at the last line in the response file so PSSPLT GUI will be closed after execution.

The small script above worked great alone but when I embed it within my stability run script at the end, it is complaining that it can't locate the idv file. Any suggestions?

Does the script change the working directory?

The stability script does change the work directory under variable work_dir. So whatever the user has for the work_dir variable as is the working directory.
