LabVIEW and Python Integration Error

[zimmermanho98]

I am trying to integrate labview. I have gotten the same error over and over (Error 1663: "Open Python Session in python_node.vi") and here are the things I have tried:

I was originally having this error when I moved the Python folder into my documents so it was easier to access, but after getting there error I decided to uninstall everything and try again. Both LabVIEW and Python are 64 bits.

1. First I installed LabVIEW and it is in this folder:

C:\Users\zimmermanho\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38

2. So then I made the helloworld.py code and it was in downloads so for module path i put the downloads folder. Recieved the error. So next I thought to move the helloworld.py into the folder from 1. Then I called it for module path like this:

C:\Users\zimmermanho\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\helloworld.py

Still getting the same exact error. There is a large issue here and I do not know how to solve it.

I tried your code and based on my "Downloads" folder and your script, I had no problems.

Based on your post, I'd suggest the following is the problem...

As annoying as it is, LabVIEW (at least, 2018 and 2019) only support Python 3.6 (or 2.7), not 3.7 or 3.8...

I think I ran into the same issue some time ago trying with 3.7.

See Open Python Session (they claim it "may work" with other versions, but I'm pretty sure I failed trying with 3.7 in the past).
