Hello. It seems that the following code works. And it seems that Process
object can automatically run script by using python.exe, but only if
standard output is not redirected...

When running the program, I have the following error:
"Exception System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was thrown in debugee:
The specified executable is not a valid Win32 application.
StartWithCreateProcess()

I have no means of running C# programs at present and can't claim much
expertise in any case. A guess is that a "valid Win32 application"
means an '.exe' file, not a '.py' file.
You are assuming that a Process object is as smart as the command
interpreter ('cmd.exe') and will know to use 'python.exe' for a file
with a 'py' extension?
What happens if you use 'python.exe' (or 'cmd.exe') as your file and
the script name as argument as in the code I posted?
