__init__(api_util)#

__iter__() → Iterator[dss._cffi_api_util.Iterable]#

Get an iterator of the object collection.

Note that OpenDSS, via the classic APIs, only allow a single object of a specific type to be activated. That is, you cannot use references of distinct objects and interact with both at the same time, or keep a reference to use later. You need to reactivate the target object or ensure it is the active one.

For an alternative, consider using our AltDSS-Python package.

(API Extension)

__len__() → int#

property idx: int#

Gets the current index or sets the active object of this type by index

While the official API included this for some classes, this is an API Extension for:

Capacitors
CapControls
ISources
LineCodes
Lines
LoadShapes
Meters
Monitors
RegControls
Sensors
SwtControls
Transformers
Vsources
XYCurves
