The use case you described would actually be a great fit for the OpenStudio Command Line Interface (CLI) in OpenStudio 2.0. You can use the Python to create an OSW file that describes the measures to call, then make system calls to the CLI to download measures and run the simulation. You can read about the CLI here.

The use case you described would actually be a great fit for the OpenStudio Command Line Interface (CLI) in OpenStudio 2.0. You can use the Python to create an OSW file that describes the measures to call, then make system calls to the CLI to download measures and run the simulation. Note that if you use Python to write OSW files (which are JSON format) and make system calls to interact with the CLI you can still work in Python without needing to load the OpenStudio Python bindings. You can read about the CLI here.
