olca-ipc
is a Python package for inter-process communication (IPC) with
openLCA. With this, it is possible to call functions of openLCA and processing
their results in Python. It implements the unified IPC protocol of openLCA for
JSON-RPC and REST APIs. The documentation of these protocols and examples can be
found in the openLCA IPC
documentation.
Note that this version only works with the openLCA >= 2 and requires Python >= 3.11. The last stable version for openLCA 1.x is 0.0.12:
# for openLCA 1.x
pip install olca-ipc==0.0.12
The source code and API documentation of the version for openLCA 1.x is in the
v1
branch of this repository. For openLCA >=2, you should install the latest
version from pypi.org.
# for openLCA >= 2
pip install -U olca-ipc
If you just want to read and write data for openLCA 2, you can also directly
use the olca-schema package, which
is a dependency of olca-ipc
.
