Integrate Python modules in LabWindows CVI 8

[DocEye]

Hi,
has anyone done this?
I am trying it using the Python/C API but including the header Python.h doesn't work, LabWindows asks for a lot of other files to include (for instance io.h, crtdefs.h). It then does not compile prompting a variety of error messages, redeclarations and so on.
Does anyone where my error is?
thanks!

Are you using Python.h before any header files that are bringing in standard headers?

Try using Python.h as the first included file and see if that cuts down on the errors.

A quick test showed the same errors you saw. After a brief perusal, I believe the default configuration is for Microsoft Visual C++.

I was able to make a few quick changes to pyconfig.h (which is used to tell python about your compile environment) and get everything working (at least with some quick and dirty tests). This was done on the newest 32-bit ActivePython release (2.5.1.1).

I am attaching the modified pyconfig.h. The changes may be a little rough, but they seem to work. If you are using a different version or release, you may have to modify your own pyconfig.h. I can give you some pointers if you go that route.

Best of luck.

DocEye,

I think a little more description of what you're doing is needed. What kind of errors are you getting? Where did you get the Python/C API (did you download it from another site)? What all files are being asked for?

After posting this I see that Alex posted some information on this, if this was not able to resolve the issues please let me know.
