General Guideance Regarding Scripting....
Three (3) rules:
1) Don't Bother if you only need to repeat it a few times.
2) Record your Python or IDV inside PSSE if repeating a bunch of times in a single project.
3) Create custom scripts only when consistently reused.
a) get hard coded user input from Text or Excel file if seldom used.
b) get dynamic user input by adding a GUI if frequently used.
