Disabling creation of .eso file with EnergyPlus

Is there a way to disable the creation of .eso files when running EnergyPlus? I'm running some large parallel simulations and the .eso files are quite big (and unnecessary?).

I'm using eppy in python at the moment to remove sql and html outputs by removing the lines in my idf files, but can't figure out if this is possible for the .eso files:

idf1.popidfobject('Output:SQLite'.upper(), 0) idf1.popidfobject('Output:VariableDictionary'.upper(), 0) idf1.popidfobject('Output:Table:SummaryReports'.upper(), 0) idf1.popidfobject('OutputControl:Table:Style'.upper(), 0)
