hi - yes I saw this which made me think it will be possible...
probably best for me to just give it a try and report back.
pyRevit has lots of built in functionality to help quickly produce UI tools in Revit (rather than using dynamo).
I develop and maintain a pyRevit toolbar suite of automation tools, I'm interested to know whether I could use OpenMEP within that toolbar.

as an example - here is the imports of a pyRevit script

It not much diffrence with the way like Revit Python Shell , you can try with some example like this :

import clr
path = f"C:\Users\vho2\AppData\Roaming\Dynamo\Dynamo Revit\2.19\packages\OpenMEP\bin\OpenMEPRevit.dll"
clr.AddReferenceToFileAndPath(path)
import OpenMEP
from OpenMEP.Element import Pipe as p
# do something here

thanks - I'll give it a go when I get a moment
