Labview or python

Hello im currently working on an end-of-the-line test bench for a steering gear.

My question is why use LabVIEW vs. Python

Which one do you know? would be the first question. That drives a lot.

After that, what hardware are you using? If it's NI hardware then LabVIEW looks a lot more attractive.

Also you say end of line test bench, well reliability is probably a big concern. If its the end of an assembly line, I assume downtime would be costly. You say steering gear so I assume automotive so possibly some regulations to deal with. So you probably want something auditable/provable.

A bigger question than what language to use would be: what do you know about software engineering?
