2020-08-23 17:40:21 -0500 marked best answer what is features of EnergyPlus Python API 1.0 comparing with other APIs

We know that the new version of EnergyPlus provides the API by Python. What are features of it? What are the differences between it and Openstudio (c++), eppy (python), jEPlus, Modelkit/Params? If I wanna do lots of building geometry/zone layout sensitivity analysis, which one you will recommend? Thanks
