Python API error handling (to stderr)

savecancel

Hi,

I am working with the Python API 0.2 and EnergyPlus 22.1.0.

I need to do some value checking (if values are finite) inside of my callback functions. What I noticed is, that (a) ValueErrors in Python code do not get recognized during a run (nor after one), (2) the stderr does not print them either, and (3) the api.runtime.issue_severe() does not stop EnergyPlus or prints the error message to stderr.

Is there any way to let EnergyPlus in case of a Python error stop and print the error to the stderr or as an alternative, let Python stop EnergyPlus?

Thanks for any help here
