[LabPython-Users] 64-bit python26.dll incompatibility?

[Vladimir B. <no...@gm...>]

Hello,

Is it possible to get LabPython to work with 64-bit Python?

LabPython 1.2 doesn't work with 64-bit python26.dll (Python 2.6.2) on
Vista. VIs fail saying that Python server cannot be found. Everything
seems to work fine with the 32-bit dll.


Thanks,

Vladimir

It's certainly possible but I'm not setup to do that since I do
not have a 64 bit system nor have I planned to install that anytime
soon.

I would expect it to be a bit more work than just recompiling in
a Windows 64 Bit OS and a Visual C version that supports 64 Bit
compilation.

First I use mainly Visual C 6.0 for all LabVIEW related C projects
which does certainly not support 64 Bit creation. Porting of the
project files will be therefore necessary.

Second while the code is written in a way to be fairly platform
independent I had at the time of creation no ideas of how 64 Bit
programming would look like nor what intrinsicacies it would have
when writing C code. So I would expect some minor C source code
modifications to be necessary to make it both compile and work
correctly under 64 Bit.

If you feel up for the task you can go and grab the C sources
from sourceforge and try on your own. Certainly don't hold your
breath for me to do it as you would likely suffer from lack of
oxygene :-)
