Object Persistence in LabPython

[cgiustini1]

Hi,

I have a question about LabPython. Suppose I am given a Python script that contains class definitions. I want to use LabPython to initialize such objects and manipulate them. Is there a way of achieving object persistence with LabPython?

Here was my idea:

I could create a wrapper Python script around the script with the class definitions. 

Let's say my class definition script code/pseudocode looks like this:

class d

          bark_volume = 0 

          def bark(self)

                self.bark_volume = self.bark_volume+1  

Now my wrapper could like this:

i = 0;

if(i == 0)

     import stuff

if(i == 1)

     a = dog

if(i==2)

    bark_volume(a)

By changing the input variable i, I can import stuff, initialize an object of type dog, and then call methods on that class. By changing the variable i and making successive calls to the wrapper script from LabPython, I might be able to manipulate the object of type dog from the LabVIEW environment. Does this make any sense?

Thanks,

Carlo

Sounds like it should work. I would try it using the Script Node and see if it works. If you run into issues then I would suggest posting your code so that other users to help troubleshoot the issue.
