An OpenOPC Gateway Service (a Windows service providing remote access to the OpenOPC library, which is useful to avoid DCOM issues).To start working with OpenOPC and Python 3.7 on Windows, we need to know what’s included in the package:

However, if you want to try a different fork that works with Python 3.4+ (if you make some minor changes to the Python source code that affects Pyro4), go to the GitHub version of Anton D. Interested in the original version from Barry Barnreiter? Go here. The procedure described here allow us to integrate OpenOPC 1.2.0 with recent versions of Python (v3.7+) and Pyro4 (v4.80+) installed on Windows. Also, includes a Windows gateway service that enable non-Windows clients to also access OPC-DA calls. OpenOPC for Python is a free, open source and easy to use OPC (OLE for Process Control) library that works very well with the popular Python programming language (now, version 3.7) on Windows.

It’s possible to use it from learning how the OPC DA protocol actually works to connecting to multiple servers and building applications for deeper data integration. OpenOPC and Python 3.7 on Windows is the right setup when working with certain industrial automation projects that implement industry-tested OPC DA servers.
