python and C#

If it works for you from a "command prompt", then Process.Start() can handle it. :)

Thanks. and if I want to call a single function from the script, is there a way?

I think you can. Because from Csharp we can call another dll's functions by importing them with DllImport. However your python script should be a dll that registered to the system once ;)

do you know how can I turn the python script into a dll. Or should I forward the question to the phyton forum?

Yes it is. You need to install Iron Python[^. Then you gain access to your Python functions directly from .NET.

You can use IronPython[^] in a C# application. A simple implementation of loading a python file using IronPython looks something like this:-

Console.WriteLine("Loading discountprice.py");
ScriptRuntime py = Python.CreateRuntime();
dynamic random = py.UseFile(@"D:\Documents\Python Scripts\discountprice.py");
Console.WriteLine("discountprice.py loaded.");

that snippet loads a basic python file called discountprice.py in my python scripts folder. To implement this you need to download IronPython and reference Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting and also IronPython.Hosting. Hope this helps

Thanks it helps. (tried it with a simple script) my question now is: I have a python script that import module IntelHex. when executing the script itself it works properly. when calling it frm my C# application, I got an exception "No module named intelHex" Do you have a clue how can I solve this? Thanks,

I don't know how to do that but, if you know what that pyhon script do, you can write it yourself in csharp as a dll file.
