Calling LabVIEW using Python

Hey LabVIEW Community,

I've created a data parser in LabVIEW with inputs and outputs and I built it into a packed library.  A colleague of mine wants to use this data parser but call it using Python.  We've implemented LabVIEW calling Python scripts without issue.  But I've never thought about doing it the other way around.  Does anyone have any experience with this?  Is it even possible to call a packed library method and feed it appropriate inputs and get the outputs in Python?

I did search this on Google.  You'd have thought this white paper would have shown up on the search...

 

Anyways, thank you.

 

However, reading through that, it looks like the support is only available for Windows.  Is there a Linux way to call LabVIEW from Python?  Can I make a .so file?  I don't have a linux machine on me at the moment, but wondering if that's a possible solution before I start down that path.

I think it is possible to call the .SO library using ctype library.
