Running Python in LabView

[ledy]

So basically i have this python script that is being called in a Labview VI. The python script saves and displays a graph (whether a sine or cosine). However, when i run the script through labview, it does not save anything, and It doesn't display anything. What's wrong? 

if i run the python through cmd, it actually works.

I have included the vi and the python script. the python script is in txt. labview does not accept .py.

Do you get an error code?

A few guesses (sorry, I don't have python):

Have you tried giving the full path to the executable?

What if you prepend "cmd /c" (see the help page)?

...

Also have a look at LabPython.

actually, the labview runs fine until it says that it cnoot find the file specified. This means it cannot find the saved image. Python actually runs but does not complete its script

Also try wiring the working directory.

it didn't help.. the labview still gives me the same error.

Have you read through this article: http://www.ni.com/white-paper/8493/en

Also, you might find this link useful: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-8995

It's also possible that you're running into an issue with admin rights. If you're not already running as an administrator, try right clicking on LabVIEW and select "Run as Administrator" and see if that clears up your problem.
