Hi! Can someone tell me how to set PYTHONPATH variable in code when working with Python.Runtime.dll without changing the value in the system variables before.

PyType_Ready "AccessViolationException was unhandled"
by Guillaume Pichard 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Hello, I have an exception: System.AccessViolationException was unhandled Message=Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt. Source=Python.Runtime when using Converter.ToPythonImplicit with my own C# class as value. CustomClass value = new CustomClass(); Converter.ToPythonImplicit(value); I have the exception in typemanager.cs function CreateType when calling Runtime.PyType_Ready(type); What did I do wrong ? Thanks, Guillaume.

Several Python.Runtime problems
by Alexey Borzenkov 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hello, While using Python.NET in one of my projects I found some problems: 1. PythonException uses Runtime.PyErr_Fetch before calling AcquireLock, which is wrong. Here's the patch: --- src/runtime/pythonexception.cs (revision 138) +++ src/runtime/pythonexception.cs (working copy) @@ -27,11 +27,11 @@ public PythonException() : base() { + IntPtr gs = PythonEngine.AcquireLock(); Runtime.PyErr_Fetch(ref _pyType, ref _pyValue, ref _pyTB); Runtime.Incref(_pyType); Runtime.Incref(_pyValue); Runtime.Incref(_pyTB); - IntPtr gs = PythonEngine.AcquireLock(); if ((_pyType != IntPtr.Zero) && (_pyValue != IntPtr.Zero)) { string type = new PyObject(_pyType).GetAttr("__name__").ToString(); 2. Every time .NET code throws an exception Python.NET leaks memory, because exception object is not decref'ed after calling PyErr_SetObject. In my case there were lots of exceptions, so problem was very noticable over time. Here's the patch: -- src/runtime/exceptions.cs (revision 138) +++ src/runtime/exceptions.cs (working copy) @@ -473,6 +473,7 @@ IntPtr etype = Runtime.PyObject_GetAttrString(op, "__class__"); Runtime.PyErr_SetObject(etype, op); Runtime.Decref(etype); + Runtime.Decref(op); } /// <summary> Hope this helps others in their fights for thread safety and against memory leaks. :) Thanks, Alexey.

Thank you very much! It will be helpful for us to know which platform (Windows [Mono or .NET] vs Linux) where this is happening.

python for .net
by Scot Kelly 23 Jan '12

Re: Python for .NET. All, I have created a Clr example which instantiates and manipulates objects of type System.String. When I try to have it access the HelloWorld-esque object that I have written in VB.net python throws an error on my import statement. In the docs on "Python for .NET" there's no discussion on what form the .NET code must be in to be reachable, in terms of namespaces, modules and classes. Here's my code. I've tried encapsulating my class in Namespace and Module wrappers no avail. Perhaps the lack of a PublicKeyToken is an ssue. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Feedback... I thought the process was fairly simple. 0. The inclusion of python.exe in the .zip merits annotating as optional. 1. The readme should probably discuss the need to sys.path.append('c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Clr'). 2. I thought the filename, Python.Runtime.dll, was too generic. Is it within your abilities to name it more specifically, such as PythonForNet.Runtime.dll 3. There's no reference section for the methods of clr. (ex: what is the parameter to and usage of ListAssemblies?) Regards, Scot Kelly. ps: a little revolution now and then is a good thing python code: import sys sys.path.append('c:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Clr') #Contains two files: clr.pyd and Python.Runtime.dll. import clr def CallMicrosoftStringClass(): #clr.AddReference("System") #from System import String as DotNetString #print clr.ListAssemblies() print 'Welcome to CallMicrosoftStringClass.' a = DotNetString('SomeTyping') print 'a is a instance of ' + a.__class__.__name__ print 'a', a b = DotNetString(a.PadRight(15, 'x')) print 'b', b c = DotNetString(b.Insert(2,'abc')) print 'c', c d = c.ToUpper() #note: not calling construtor of DotNetString here. print 'd', d print 'd is a instance of ' + d.__class__.__name__ print 'Leaving CallMicrosoftStringClass.' def CallObjectTwo(): #Import System clr.AddReference("CallbackExample") print '1111.a' print clr.FindAssembly("CallbackExample") print '1111.b' #print dir(clr) for e in clr.ListAssemblies(0): print e print '1111.c' for e in clr.ListAssemblies(1): print e print '1111.d' #from Namspacexyz import ObjectTwo as ObjDos #import CallbackExample import ObjectTwo print '2222' print 'Welcome to CallObjectTwo.' #a = ObjectDos('SomeTyping') #print 'a is a instance of ' + a.__class__.__name__ print 'Leaving CallObjectTwo.' print ' ' print ' ' print ' ' print ' ' print ' ' print ' ' print ' ' #for element in sys.path: # print element print 'Welcome to Scots_ClrExample '*3 CallObjectTwo() print 'Finished with Scots_ClrExample '*3 VB.net code: Imports System 'Imports System.Collections.ArrayList 'Imports System.Collections 'Imports System.Threading 'Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices 'Imports System.Data.Sql 'Imports System.Data.SqlTypes 'Imports Microsoft.SqlServer.Server ''Imports System.Win32Native 'How to compile: ' cd "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server" ' path=%path%;%SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727 ' vbc /target:library "CallbackExample.vb" | more Public Namespace NSPC 'Public Module CallbackExample 'Demo callback functionality Public Class ObjectTwo Public Shared Function HelloWorld() as string return "Hello World from ObjectTwo !!"

type check in native C# after setting in Python.NET
by White, Darran M 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, We`re calling .NET AvalonDock using Python.NET. Theres a callback called DockingManager.DeserializationCallback in AvalonDock. I`ve got this callback to be called by AvalonDock from Python.NET but nothing happens after its called. Looking at the AvalonDock code theres a type check contentToTransfer = e.Content as DockableContent; if (contentToTransfer != null) { .... } We`re setting the e.Content from Python.NET d = self._dockMgr.createDockableContent(ui.Label('Grid'), event.Name,closeable=True, infoTip='',docId=event.Name) e.Content = d e.Content is a <class 'AvalonDock.DockableContent'> when its in the Python but could the e.Content as DockableContent; still fail in the native C#?
