Thank you Rolf. The inline vi's and the script node works for me on 
LabVIEW 7.1.1 and 8.5 on Windows. I used the example from the labpython 
web page.

It's probably due to my setup - and it is not at all critical since I will 
be using the inline vi's - but the odd behaviour I see is that the script 
node doesn't place properly in 7.1.1 or 8.5. I have to copy the script 
node from inside the Python Script Node vi, or place a matlab or xmath (or 
the other one), then change it to python. The very first time I placed the 
python node, it worked right. But that was the only time.

Also, when I right-click on the node, the context menu briefly flashes, 
the matlab app flashes on the start bar, and I can't add an input or the 
like. I have to ctrl-right click, then I can add an input - though, oddly, 
the matlab app still flashes on the start bar.

Just a note on my application - I will be using python modules that 
communicate with an xmlrpc server. I may find out if straight tcp 
interface works better.

Well it seems the menu file lost the merge flag for the script
node. Editing back in the palette menu editor should fix the
behaviour.

I've attached a copy of it here. It goes in
user.lib\_dynamicpalette_dirs\OpenG            and 
user.lib\_dynamicpalette_dirs\comm

This is strange. I can't imagine what would cause this. I don't
see this but I do not have Matlab installed.

I replaced these for 7.1.1 and 8.5. They both merge now.

I tried this again. Now 8.5 works fine, but 7.1.1 still flashes matlab. In 
8.5 it looks like the activeX connection to matlab is handled differently 
than in 7.1.1.

Thanks again,
