psspy.case() giving error "Not open for physical access."

When I'm trying to initialize my case with the following code the "psspy.case" command results in a message back to the console stating "Not open for physical access. C:\PTI\case.sav (RWFIL/CASE)"

I can't find anything anywhere about what this means. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

ierr = psspy.psseinit(12000)
print(ierr)
psspy.case(r'C:\PTI\case.sav')

Ok I solved this by including the PSSBIN folder in the PATH environment variable manually. Not sure why my code wasn't doing it but got it figured out!

do you get same error with case 'savnw.sav'? Running within the GUI or from a DOS (console) window? psse version?

So when I run the psspy.case command from within PSS/E I don't get any errors and it initializes just fine. But when I run it from just python, I get that error. Of note, when the psseinit command is run, I get a message in the console saying "FILEINFO.DLL" not found

(cont'd) I verified there is a fileinfo.dll file in the PSSBIN folder, which I do have added in the PATH earlier in my code that isn't shown. I'm also importing the redirect module and calling the redirect.psse2py() module as well

Should also note that I have PSSE version 33.10.0
