Bases: bw2io.importers.base_lci.LCIImporter

Base class for format-specific importers.

Defines workflow for applying strategies.

Takes a database name (string) as initialization parameter.

Initialize the ImportBase object.

Parameters

*args :

Variable length argument list.

**kwargs :

Arbitrary keyword arguments.

Raises

NotImplemented :

This class should be subclassed.

format = 'SimaPro CSV'

get_db_name()

match_ecoinvent2(db_name)

write_database(data=None, name=None, *args, **kwargs)

Write data to a Database.

All arguments are optional, and are normally not specified.

delete_existing effects both the existing database (it will be emptied prior to writing if True, which is the default), and, if activate_parameters is True, existing database and activity parameters. Database parameters will only be deleted if the import data specifies a new set of database parameters (i.e. database_parameters is not None) - the same is true for activity parameters. If you need finer-grained control, please use the DatabaseParameter, etc. objects directly.

Args:

• data (dict, optional): The data to write to the Database. Default is self.data.

• delete_existing (bool, default True): See above.

• activate_parameters (bool, default False). Instead of storing parameters in Activity and other proxy objects, create ActivityParameter and other parameter objects, and evaluate all variables and formulas.

• backend (string, optional): Storage backend to use when creating Database. Default is the default backend.

Returns:

Database instance.
