Hi Rolf,

Sounds like you are approaching the source already! Hope it affects only
pyimport.c?

LabVIEW

Thanks for the correction, "sys.stdin =3D StringIO (stdin)" works!
(Something spooked me yesterday.)

I see.=20
Would you like to point me to where I can find docs about the LabVIEW
API for script nodes? I would like to have types for waveform plots and
xy plots. I have problems generating those types when calling LabVIEW
VIs from Python through win32com because that module doesn't distinguish
between tuples (clusters) and lists (arrays). I guess that module uses
OLE variants.
