Hi everyone,  
If anyone here is working with RTDE using python and would like to share their URScript as well as code written in Python that would be very helpful.  
I am especially looking for an example of using servoj() or force\_mode() where one has a thread running to operate the robot in RTDE.  
It would be very helpful to see some examples of working programs which I and probably others could use to learn how to work in real-time with the robot.

Thanks 🙂

Here is a library with C++ and Python interface that works with RTDE interface:
