Calling python script within C#

Question

Hi Guys I am trying to call a python script within C#. I can call normal python scripts that do not require any arguments but my particular script requires one argument. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out how to send an argument. This is the code below: Process p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; p.StartInfo.FileName = /usr/bin/python; p.StartInfo.Arguments = /path/to/pythonscript.py ; p.Start();

Hi Vuze I have attempted that as well and still the same error.

One further thought. Try enclosing the argument in quotes even if it doesn't include spaces: p.StartInfo.Arguments = /path/to/pythonscript.py \argument\;

Hi Sanjeeb thanks for the link however I am not using the IronPython module as I do not want to return functions and methods. The C# should only call the python script and send an argument. I have tried with a simple HelloWorld.py that does not require any arguments. The problem arises when an argument is required.

Hi Vulpes I have tried the first method before my post and it didn't work. The second method thinks the argument is part of the filetype so it gives me a no such file in directory error.

I'm not familiar with PythonScript so this is just a guess but I'd try including it after the first argument separated by a space: p.StartInfo.Arguments = /path/to/pythonscript.py argument; If the argument includes any spaces I'd enclose it in quotes. If that doesn't work I'd try enclosing the whole lot in quotes so that (in effect) a single argument is passed: p.StartInfo.Arguments = \/path/to/pythonscript.py argument\;
