Error when loading openstudio model using python after v3.7 [closed]

savecancel

Recently updated to OpenStudio 3.7, but since then, I'm not able to load models in python the same way as before. This is the way I loaded models in python in version 3.5.1:

# Set filenames
filename = "../test.osm"
modelfilepath = openstudio.path(filename)

# Load openstudio model
optional_model = openstudio.openstudiomodel.Model.load(modelfilepath)

# # Load openstudio model using VersionTranslator
# vs = openstudio.osversion.VersionTranslator()
# optional_model = vs.loadModel(modelfilepath)

# Get optional model
if optional_model.is_initialized():
    model = optional_model.get()

But the same code in version 3.7 causes the following error:

TypeError: Wrong number or type of arguments for overloaded function 'Model_load'.
  Possible C/C++ prototypes are:
    openstudio::model::Model::load(openstudio::path const &)
    openstudio::model::Model::load(openstudio::path const &,openstudio::path const &)

I get the same results regardless of the openstudio version of the osm file I am trying to load. I did see that #4923 changed the Model::load API and was wondering if there's a different way to load models now.
