I have previously shared this elsewhere, so I apologize if you have already seen it. Here is a basic and quick introduction to Python for PLCs:

Excellent, I have been learning for some time.
I am using pylogix with good results.

I did not found cv2 on PyPI, where is that module located. ?
This is the first time I see it.
Once again thanks a lot for sharing.

I haven't had time to look through this fully, but is there much out there for linking with Siemens? Akin to pylogix?

Another great python library for ControlLogix is pycomm3. I have used it in many projects.

Thanks, that's the correct one.

There is a python wrapper for Snap7 but I haven't used it..

For Logix, both pylogix or pycomm3 are excellent.
For everything else, OPC-UA (asyncua) works well.

I also have experimented with modbus RTU and modbus/TCP with python, with good results.
