Hi David,
The feature that you suggested in which you are able to determine which datasheets are “active” is now available in pysyncrosim. It follows the same idea as what was already implemented in rsyncrosim – in rsyncrosim, if you call datasheet(myScenario, optional = TRUE), you will see a “data” column that contains “yes” or “no” for whether or not the datasheet contains data (i.e., is “active”). In the latest version of pysyncrosim we have added a similar feature, where if you call myScenario.datasheets(optional=True) you will find this same “data” column.
You can now install the latest version of pysyncrosim from conda or PyPI following the instructions in the docs: https://pysyncrosim.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
Thanks for the suggestion and let us know if you think of any other useful features!
