Co-simulation with E+ and Radiance (in Openstudio)

Hi,

I am looking to perform a co-simulation for energy and lighting requirement of a space using energyplus and radiance. I am looking at Openstudio as an option and wondering how to set this up in Python environment to perform the cosimulation there (as opposed to using Openstudio Application).

I am aware of the Openstudio and energyplus bindings and followed some of the codes and tutorials by Julien Marrec (https://github.com/jmarrec). To perform Radiance analysis in Openstudio, it seems as you need to use Measures. Is there a way to streamline this process and use Python script as the mainframe to perform these simulations? Ideally I would like to use Energplus for energy analysis and Radiance as lighting analysis through Openstudio platform as it can "talk" to both. Any help/guidance/tutorials are appreciated. Thank you.
