In Energyplus folder (V9.1) I have seen several python scripts (transition.py;energyplus.py,...) with eplaunch package without any manual. What are the purpose for those scripts and can they run in normal python script ?

Update: tried to build EP-Launch.app for Mac and got below warnings in warn-eplaunch.txt - could not pip/conda intall org and any further options. The EP-Launch.app is unable to launch even in standard EP folder. How to fix it?
Follow-up: got release link from JasonGlazer:https://github.com/NREL/EP-Launch/releases - Just a symbol made me confused

missing module named org - imported by pickle (optional), /Users/kcu/Desktop/App/Install/EP-Launch/eplaunch/runner.py (top-level)
excluded module named _frozen_importlib - imported by importlib (optional), importlib.abc (optional), /Users/kcu/Desktop/App/Install/EP-Launch/eplaunch/runner.py (top-level)

EP-Launch 3 is written in Python and works across multiple platforms and very flexible about the processes that it can perform based on "workflows." The workflows include running EnergyPlus, running the Appendix G post processor, running the transition program and a few other utilities right now. Additional workflows can easily be added. Those workflows are located in the workflows folder in EnergyPlus. EP-Launch 3 is open source.

Seems like this is probably better as a new question. Did you use the mac.tar.gz file under releases?

JasonGlazer ( 2019-11-08 11:12:36 -0500 )edit

No I could not find the link of mac.tar.gz at github site. That the reason why I try to build it

See https://github.com/NREL/EP-Launch/rel...
