I am trying to deploy an application made in labview that uses python nodes. These nodes use external libraries (e.g. numpy, pandas, etc), and I am using a venv for the python development. The venv and python folders sit within the laview project folder, and I use relative paths when creating the python node (i.e. Application Directory/venv).
This works well when running the application in labview, but the venv and python files cannot be found when the program is built (error 1746: Open Venv Python Session.vi). I do not get this error if I hard code the path reference, but that will not work for deployment.
Do I need to just bundle the venv and py files and treat them like external files, or is there a way to build it within the executable? When creating applications for pure python projects, I can bundle everything within a single file, and "external" data would be contained / unbundled into a temp / MEI folder at runtime. Is there something similar for executables and labview?
