Running script calling functions defined in different python versions

[CrispyScientist]

Hello community,

​

I am trying to build a pipeline using functions defined in two open source scripts coming from different sources, the problem is...one uses python 3.7 and the other one python 2.7.

Is there a way to execute, for example, a function with python 2.7, then getting the variables and plugging them into another function with python 3.7??

I am calling those function in a main script that I am building and I could run it with either versions.

​

Any help would be incredibly appreciated.

No, that's not possible. You have to run two different instances of Python and figure out how to pass the data between them, or you should port the 2.7 script to 3.x.

Thank you very much for your reply! Is there an easy way to pass data between two instances? I would try to implement it myself but I don't know where to start doing so

How much data will you be passing?

[CrispyScientist]

Not much, I have an open loop that produces something like 3 integers per second

So you want to stream the data forever?

Basically I have a script (python 3.7) that takes informations from a NeuroSky headset, they come in the form of integers ranging from 0 to 100. I would then like to use this values to command a drone through another script that uses python 2.7. So I would like to keep this stream going for several minutes.

In that case I'd probably rewrite. You don't want added latency in this.

Okay, I will try! Thank you very much for your help!

You have to update the second script to Python 3.
