The code in this repository has been put together specifically to give users
a method for merging multiple brightway2
sqlite-type databases together. The code also allows for the storage of differences
between the databases in a file that allows for a quick overview as well as a
way to add, remove and edit these values.
The Builder class in src/superstructure.py is used as a way to prepare
and construct the 'superstructure'. The build_superstructure
notebook contains an example of the flow used to put together the superstructure
database and the related 'scenario' or 'difference' file.
An example scenario file is also
present with a very well done explanation by bsteubing
of each column and how to make or customize one without being dependent on the
code to build it.
The suggested requirements for using the notebook as intended are as follows:
brightway2 >=2.1.2
jupyter
numpy
pandas >=0.24.1
python >=3.7
xlrdThe code was written and used through packages installed with the conda
tools. Setting up the required environment can be done like so:
conda create -n structure -c defaults -c conda-forge -c cmutel -c haasad "brightway2>=2.1.2" python=3.7 jupyter numpy "pandas>=0.24.1" xlrd
