Python and Labview

I need to call a Python script from Labview, someone know which is the best method to do that? I've tried Labpython, but it is not supported on newest versions of Labview and I'm not able to use it on Labview-2014. Definitevly, I'm looking for an advice about python integration: I know this two solutions:

1)Labpython: is a good solution but it is obsolete

2)execute python script with shell_execute block in Labview. I think that it isn't the best solution because is very hard to get the output of python script

You can use the integrated Python nodes. There are quite simple examples integrated in LabVIEW. Open them via the Help/Find examples... menu, then type Python into the search field and you will find various Python examples such as "PythonNode_AddTwoDoubles.vi".

Be aware that this Python support is only available with (I think) LV2018 or later.

You can save Python script as a large string constant(or load from text file) within the LabVIEW vi so that it can be manipulated within LabVIEW and then save that to a text file then execute the Python script using command line in LabVIEW. Python yourscript enter

Check out TestScript: a free, source-released Python/LabVIEW connector. It's fully bi-directional, including arguments and is compatible with LabVIEW 2013 and later, and Python 3.
