I used the line you supplied but trying it again, I began to solve the problem through a series of accidents and errors. As it is, apparently the Pipe_Test.py has some peculiar features.
>The first is that it will not tell you anything about errors, even whether or not there is one. >The commands are space-delimited so Text=Hello is not the same as Text = Hello even if you have the quotes. >It tolerates no variables. Label=X, if you have X in a loop, will always have the value of text X and not a changing number. As a matter of fact, since Label has to have a numeric value, and seeing X will place the value of label to be the default of 0. So, yes, placing the 1 in the line and no spaces, it worked. I was able to send text to the Label. One thing I would really appreciate is getting the line as follows to work: do_command("SetLabel:Label=T Text=ThisList[T] ") which it a total violation of what I described previously. (-: The object is to pull the text out of ThisList and increment by looping on T to populate the labels. Unfortunately, road bump may well put the kibosh on my project.... But I can dream, can't I?

As I interpret https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/scripting.html#Using_Scripting the label is identified by an integer, not a string.
