[SciPy-user] data acquisition in Python

[Barry Drake]

Ryan,
No, haven't used RTD with Python; I waa using LavVIEW
(National Instruments) at the time.  However, I had to
write the dlls and wrappers in a similar way one would
using Python: 

vhll (Python, LabVIEW) <- C/C++ wrapper <- (dll, so,
or rc) <- RTD drivers.

Regards,
Barry
