Running python script

[justclouds]

I am trying to run a python script in labview. I downloaded python 2.6 and the open g python tools. The python script requires 3 inputs and it creates an output file. I have added the 3 inputs and file ouput to the python script node. I get an error message "LabVIEW:  LabVIEW cannot initialize the script server.  Ensure the server software is installed. in PYTHON Script Node__ogtk.vi". What am I doing wrong?

Try using Python 2.5; I had trouble with 2.6 and had to step back.

If you'd like, post your code and I'll see if it runs for me.

Here is the code. The values that need to be specified are 'cheight' (could be a value of 1000), 'cpressure' (could be 800) and 'ctemperature' (could be 10). An output file should be created with calculated values. The code should be invoked as follows:

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -F CHEIGHT, --cloudbaseheight=CHEIGHT
                        Cloud base height
  -P CPRESSURE, --cloudbasepres=CPRESSURE
                        Cloud base pressure
  -T CTEMPERATURE, --cloudbasetemp=CTEMPERATURE
                        Cloud base temperature
  -o FILE, --output=FILE
                        write output to FILE

I got this error: Error 1050 occurred at PYTHON Execute Script__ogtk.vi->Untitled 3:, global name 'OptionParser' is not defined

That tells me that I'm not getting the library, but am getting Python.

Can you save this for Labview 8.5 version and repost?
