Python GPIO Support on UP7100 with Windows 11 IoT

I'm currently working on a project using the UP7100 running Windows 11 IoT, and I would like to control the GPIO pins using Python.
I came across a post from February 2023 mentioning that Python support for GPIO was not available at the time, but that it was being worked on.
I’m wondering if there have been any updates since then. Is Python GPIO control now supported on Windows 11 IoT for the UP7100?
Any guidance or documentation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi @ted_tsai
Thank you for your inquiry.
At the moment, there is no official or ready-made solution for controlling GPIO via Python on Windows 11 IoT for the UP7100. If you would like to use Python, you'll likely need to interface with the available C++ GPIO library yourself.
We recommend searching online for methods on how to call C++ libraries from Python (e.g., using ctypes or pybind11) as a possible approach.
Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
