Running LabVIEW and Python simultaneously

Hi all, I currently have python codes to do object tracking on a given video, and now I want to integrate python with LabVIEW to perform online tracking and control, that is, LabVIEW connects camera and actuators and ideally python, python gets images from camera and processes it to give a control command to the actuator. The thing is the tracking is quite complicated and requires not only the current image but also all the previous images, so LabVIEW and python have to be running at the same time, otherwise LabVIEW has to pass on all the previous information to python at every time step. May I know if there's a way to keep LabVIEW and python running simultaneously while they are communicating? 

Thanks!

Is that like asking if a spread sheet and word processor can be running at the same time?

What makes you think they can not be running simultaneously?

The only issue I could see if they are both competing for the same resource (camera?)

 

Good luck.
