C# and Python

[subeen]

Hi,
I am a newcomer in Python. I am going to write a small Python
application that will run in windows xp. This application needs to
have GUI. Is it possible to make a C# application using visual studio
2005 that will call the python scripts? Let me explain more here:
My program will generate a text file of 100 - 100000 random integers,
and sort those using various sorting methods. Now I have written
separate sorting scripts in Python (quick sort, insertion sort etc.).
But I want to write the GUI and number generation program in C#.net.
When the user clicks Quick Sort button, the quicksort.py will be
called and it will sort the numbers.

regards,
Subeen

If C# can call extension functions written in C, then it's possible.
See info on how to embed a Python interpreter in a custom C application.

If you just want to capture the stdout of a script then you can use
the System.Process and System.ProcessInfo classes. An example is

One way to do this:
In your C# app, have the mouse click event handler call python
interpreter "/path/to/python /path/to/quicksort.py". Make quicksort.py
write to a file the result. After the quicksort.py finishes, read the
file from your normal C# app.

Probably worth looking at IronPython, the Python implementation for
the .Net platform.

From Eric CHAO [accidently sent to me]:

Maybe you could try IronPython. It's another implement in .NET
platform. Not 100% compatible but for sorting, that's ok. I think it's
a better way to use GUI that .NET provide.

And if you download VS 2005 SDK, there is many demo projects about
IronPython.

Also Pythonnet (see the recent announce on this ML), which is a
..NET/CPython bridge and supports embedding CPython as well as calling
..NET code from CPython.

Thanks everyone for your valuable suggestions. I shall let you know my
status.

Hi, what's the C# function to call python interpreter?
