Thank you for the reply.****
I am on doing last method of your list.****
“just need to run web2py using the version of python that the PSSE lib
requires (i use web2py on python2.5****
This api needs it to be run in python 2.5 ( It doesn’t work for other
versions of python I have tested for 2.3) . If I can start web2py in python
2.5 which is already installed in my computer, then it will be fine (as I
use the same to run psse). Because I guess it checks the registry info for
the particular python version.****
** **
Also do you think I can try making the python version to 2.5 in web2 py,
but I don’t know how to do it.
