Send python shell commands from LabVIEW

[LeonTester]

Hi,

I`m investigating in Labview2018 the possibility to interface to python classes.

What I found out so far is the possibility to call Python functions in Labview2018 , Like;

Looking for a way to call python ‘shell commands’ directly form LV.

Example return ‘Python 3.6 version nr’:

   PyVersion.py

         import sys def function():    

             return(sys.version)

This works, with normal python function callback.

The coal to directly send the commands from LV:

  import sys

  sys.version

Anyone have some ideas / example code?

Thx

Leon

May be you could use System Exec.vi  and run the py. script which you want directly.

Hi Nghtcwrlr,

Thx, but I`m looking for an option without creating a ‘.py’ file in this example.

Calling the python ‘shell commands’ directly from LV2018.
