-RasPrj.py - Manages HEC-RAS projects within the ras-commander library
-
-This module provides a class for managing HEC-RAS projects.
-
-Classes:
-    RasPrj: A class for managing HEC-RAS projects.
-
-Functions:
-    init_ras_project: Initialize a RAS project.
-    get_ras_exe: Determine the HEC-RAS executable path based on the input.
-
-DEVELOPER NOTE:
-This class is used to initialize a RAS project and is used in conjunction with the RasCmdr class to manage the execution of RAS plans.
-By default, the RasPrj class is initialized with the global 'ras' object.
-However, you can create multiple RasPrj instances to manage multiple projects.
-Do not mix and match global 'ras' object instances and custom instances of RasPrj - it will cause errors.
-
-This module is part of the ras-commander library and uses a centralized logging configuration.
-
-Logging Configuration:
-- The logging is set up in the logging_config.py file.
-- A @log_call decorator is available to automatically log function calls.
-- Log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
-- Logs are written to both console and a rotating file handler.
-- The default log file is 'ras_commander.log' in the 'logs' directory.
-- The default log level is INFO.
-
-To use logging in this module:
-1. Use the @log_call decorator for automatic function call logging.
-2. For additional logging, use logger.[level]() calls (e.g., logger.info(), logger.debug()).
-
-
-Example:
-    @log_call
-    def my_function():
-        
-        logger.debug("Additional debug information")
-        # Function logic here
-        
------
-
-All of the methods in this class are class methods and are designed to be used with instances of the class.
-
-List of Functions in RasPrj:    
-- initialize()
-- _load_project_data()
-- _get_geom_file_for_plan()
-- _parse_plan_file()
-- _parse_unsteady_file()
-- _get_prj_entries()
-- _parse_boundary_condition()
-- is_initialized (property)
-- check_initialized()
-- find_ras_prj()
-- get_project_name()
-- get_prj_entries()
-- get_plan_entries()
-- get_flow_entries()
-- get_unsteady_entries()
-- get_geom_entries()
-- get_hdf_entries()
-- print_data()
-- get_plan_value()
-- get_boundary_conditions()

+RasPrj.py - Manages HEC-RAS projects within the ras-commander library
+
+This module provides a class for managing HEC-RAS projects.
+
+Classes:
+    RasPrj: A class for managing HEC-RAS projects.
+
+Functions:
+    init_ras_project: Initialize a RAS project.
+    get_ras_exe: Determine the HEC-RAS executable path based on the input.
+
+DEVELOPER NOTE:
+This class is used to initialize a RAS project and is used in conjunction with the RasCmdr class to manage the execution of RAS plans.
+By default, the RasPrj class is initialized with the global 'ras' object.
+However, you can create multiple RasPrj instances to manage multiple projects.
+Do not mix and match global 'ras' object instances and custom instances of RasPrj - it will cause errors.
+
+This module is part of the ras-commander library and uses a centralized logging configuration.
+
+Logging Configuration:
+- The logging is set up in the logging_config.py file.
+- A @log_call decorator is available to automatically log function calls.
+- Log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
+- Logs are written to both console and a rotating file handler.
+- The default log file is 'ras_commander.log' in the 'logs' directory.
+- The default log level is INFO.
+
+To use logging in this module:
+1. Use the @log_call decorator for automatic function call logging.
+2. For additional logging, use logger.[level]() calls (e.g., logger.info(), logger.debug()).
+
+
+Example:
+    @log_call
+    def my_function():
+        
+        logger.debug("Additional debug information")
+        # Function logic here
+        
+-----
+
+All of the methods in this class are class methods and are designed to be used with instances of the class.
+
+List of Functions in RasPrj:    
+- initialize()
+- _load_project_data()
+- _get_geom_file_for_plan()
+- _parse_plan_file()
+- _parse_unsteady_file()
+- _get_prj_entries()
+- _parse_boundary_condition()
+- is_initialized (property)
+- check_initialized()
+- find_ras_prj()
+- get_project_name()
+- get_prj_entries()
