I tried to post this to the list yesterday but it bounced because of
address issues...hopefully this will work:
 
If you want to execute a python program from c-sharp you can just use
System.Diagnostics.Process to execute python.exe and you don't need
python for .net.

Python for .net is more appropriate for if you want to execute a python
function or create an instance of a python object and then run methods
and access attributes from your C# program.

The example you linked to is OK, except that he modified the
Python.Runtime.Dll which is not necessary.

If you had a Hello.py with a function called hello Like this:

def hello():
    return 'hello'


You could do this in C#:

PythonEngine.Initialize();
PyObject helloModule = PythonEngine.ImportModule("Hello");
String fromPython = helloModule.InvokeMethod("hello", new
PyTuple()).ToString(); PythonEngine.Shutdown();

// now fromPython = "hello"

If your function takes an argument:

def returnArg(arg):
    return arg

PythonEngine.Initialize();
PyObject helloModule = PythonEngine.ImportModule("Hello");
String fromPython = helloModule.InvokeMethod("returnArg", new
PyObject[1] {new PyString("Test")}).ToString(); PythonEngine.Shutdown();

// now fromPython = "test"

        Hi,

         

        I also would be very interested in seeing some examples to "call
python from c#" using "Python for .NET".  I have dug around Google and a
number of forums---I can't find anything except the post from below.  I
really hope I'm not missing the obvious somewhere.

         

        IronPython is great but my needs require using a few c++
extensions compiled for CPython (that can't be recompiled).

         

        Also thanks in advance,

        Hello, PythonNet!

         
        I'm looking for some sample code to call python from C#.
        Actually, I'd like to execute python program(let say 'Hello.py')
from C# 
        with parameters.
        Actually, I'm a newbie at both of languages. So, could you give
sample 
        source code? I was looking for some guide or source for several
days, 
        but I couldn't find it. What I've got so far from googling is 
        
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythondotnet/2003-November/000037.html,

        but I can't understand it and old one.
         
        Thank you in advance.
        Seungweon.
