Application Running Embedded Python on NI-RT Linux

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has built an RT application with LabWindows/CVI that has embedded Python into its runtime. I'm also looking for input into whether or not this is possible.

From what I can gather, you can install Python 3 on NI-RT:

With this in mind, I believe I should be able to build an RT target that uses Python C-API to instantiate a python runtime into my application.

 

I'd like to build a host application that sends a Python script to the RT application. The RT application executes the script, which does little more than manipulate some software signals inside the C runtime. The RT application then sends a file back to the host when python execution finishes.

Any input would be appreciated!
