PythonNet on Cygwin
by Nikhil Garg 21 Jun '17

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how to make Python for .Net work on cygwin installation of python. I have been looking around and find a mixed bag of information. If anyone knows of the working version of Python for .Net and its dependency, I would appreciate if you could share it with me. Currently, I am using a generic windows version and it works just fine, but I need it to work on Cygwin version of python. I appreciate any helpful replies. Thanks, Nikhil

cx_freeze and python.net
by Boris Burdin 21 May '17

Hello everybody, I'm trying to build a python.net application using cx-freeze . Once the application is built, I put in my final folder the Python.Runtime.dll. but it stil doesn't seem to work . Actually, when I run the .exe file, nothing is happening. So, I wonder if there were something else to do, another dll to put in the folder, or any option to use with cx_freeze when building the application ? i would be very grateful if you could help me on this matter .. Thanks in advance, Boris

pythonnet appdomain(s)
by Adam Klein 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Hello, Is there a design reason that pythonnet loads C# assemblies into its own AppDomain rather than establishing a separate AppDomain? It would be useful for instance when developing in C# in parallel with writing python code (say, in the ipython REPL) to be able to reload C# assemblies dynamically. Also, we've found it useful in Initialize() to enable shadow copying, to prevent file locking, ie internal static void Initialize() { ... AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; // prevent file locking domain.SetShadowCopyFiles(); domain.SetShadowCopyPath(null); Although these are deprecated methods, and really it should be establishing a new AppDomain as above.

Debugging CPYTHON embedded in .NET
by Denis Akhiyarov 31 Jan '16

Dear users and developers of PythonNET: How do you debug CPython embedded in . NET? Did you find any reliable way to do this with IDE such as PTVS or Pycharm? PTVS offers mixed-mode and remote debugging, none of which seem to be usable with PythonNET. Thanks, Denis

pythonnet 2.0.0 released
by Tony Roberts 29 Jan '16

29 Jan '16

Hi, I've finally gotten round to finishing off the last couple of things that were blocking an 'official' 2.0.0 release (to do with packaging as wheels/source dist). There is now a 2.0.0 release available on PyPI ( https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pythonnet), with binary wheels for Windows (32 and 64 bit) and a source distribution for Linux and Mac. The next task will be to integrate the changes from the renshawbay/pythonnet fork to add Python 3 support. cheers, Tony

Getting an open Python file handle into CLR
by Dan Lenski 21 Jul '15

21 Jul '15

Hi, I posted this on StackOverflow but thought it might be a better question for this mailing list. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31530059/how-can-i-open-a-net- filestream-object-from-a-python-file-handle I'm trying to figure out how to transform an open Python file handle into a System.IO.FileStream object so that I can pass it to C# code. Here's what I've got so far. This produces the good ol' win32 (HANDLE*) object, I believe: import clr, msvcrt from Microsoft.Win32.SafeHandles import SafeFileHandle from System.IO import FileStream, FileAccess from System import IntPtr, Int32, Int64 pyf=open("c:/temp/testing123.txt","w") fileno=pyf.fileno() print fileno # 6 handle = msvcrt.get_osfhandle(fileno) print handle # 1832L Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to convince the clr module to cast this handle into something that I can use as an IntPtr, as required by the constructors of FileStream or SafeFileHandle. I've tried various versions of the following, but they all give me TypeError ("value cannot be converted to System.IntPtr"): FileStream(IntPtr(handle), True) FileStream(IntPtr(Int32(handle), True) SafeFileHandle(IntPtr(handle), True) Thanks, Dan Lenski

python.net and autocompletion
by germano carella 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Hi, I'm attempting to write a python IDE accessible for blind persons. I'm a blind programmer and I need it to develop my applications. I'd like to create an autocompletion db containing all modules, functions, classes that a developer can use. Now, there is a way, with clr module, to retrieve list of available modules to import? Or, there is a way to implement a c# class that makes it possible? Thanks! Germano
