A small library that connects brightway to the openLCA IPC Server.
Install this library from github using
pip install git+https://github.com/brightway-lca/brightway-olca.git
In order to use this library, [openLCA](https://www.openlca.org/) needs to be running and the openLCA IPC Server needs to be active. The server can be activated in openLCA under Tools>Developer Tools>IPC Server.
This library exposes the OLCAClient class that can be used to read the database currently opened in openLCA.
get_olca_database_by_type(exchange_types: ExchangeType)
This method returns a list of exchanges by type that can be used for integration of the openLCA database into brightway.
Example usage:
from bw_olca import olca_client
from bw_olca.exchange_types import ExchangeType
client = olca_cilent.OLCAClient()
types_list = [ExchangeType.PROCESS]
results = client.get_olca_database_by_type(types_list, verbose=True)
Use the Example Notebook in the docs folder for an in-depth example of how to use this library.
