Hi,

I'm running into some errors in trying to run an EnergyPlus simulation through EPPY. I am working on a Windows OS. To give a simple example of the error I am trying to run the '1ZoneUncontrolled.idf' with EnergyPlus 8.5 from the E+ examples with an EPW for Amsterdam (renamed 'someWeather.epw' here).

When I run the following python code (all these files are containted within the current 'C:\Z_TestEPPY' directory):

# Import libraries
import eppy
import sys
import os
from eppy.modeleditor import IDF

iddfile = "Energy+V8_5_0.idd"
IDF.setiddname(iddfile)

idfname = '1ZoneUncontrolled.idf'
epwfile = 'someWeather.epw'

Idf = IDF(idfname, epwfile)
Idf.run()

I get the following errors:

ERROR: Could not find input data dictionary: C:\Users\20171493\AppData\Local\Temp\tmp79zt77cw\Energy+V8_5_0.idd.

I noted that in the line 'C:/EnergyPlusV8-5-0\e' in the error message there is an inconsistency in the path directory seperators where C:/ does not have an escape character before it. Also the in.idf file does not get created.
