Multithreading/multiprocessing
by Alan Macdonald May 5, 2025

Hello, has anyone successfully used multithreading or multiprocessing with Python.Net? I tried to multi-thread from the .Net side and the Python.Net libraries seem to have issues in the RunScript method. I had to take an implementation off the web of that method because the shipped method doesn’t seem to work. I then had a working multi-processing example from CPython that I tried from Python.Net but it gives an error 'module' object has no attribute 'argv' When trying to create a process pool by executing the line pool = Pool(processes=4) Is it possible to do multithreading or multiprocessing with Python.Net? Thanks, Alan

I see there is a project for .NET Core at https://github.com/pythonnet/pythonnet/projects/2 but it is empty. Is there any work being done on this? If not, would you accept a pull request if somebody wanted to help?

Inheriting from abstract .NET class
by Henning Moeller Aug. 18, 2017

Aug. 18, 2017

Hello out there, I'm trying to inherit from an abstract .NET base class in Python (2.7). I'm a Python n00b but from what I understood... Here's what I managed to do in Python only and which works fine: [File: room.py] ------- import abc class Room(object): def __init__(self, door): self.door = door def open(self): self.door.open() def close(self): self.door.close() def is_open(self): return self.door.is_open() class Door(object): __metaclass__ = abc.ABCMeta def open(self): if not self.is_open(): self.toggle() def close(self): if self.is_open(): self.toggle() @abc.abstractmethod def is_open(self): pass @abc.abstractmethod def toggle(self): pass class StringDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = "closed" def is_open(self): return self.status == "open" def toggle(self): if self.status == "open": self.status = "closed" else: self.status = "open" class BooleanDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = True def is_open(self): return self.status def toggle(self): self.status = not (self.status) Door.register(StringDoor) Door.register(BooleanDoor) ------- Now, all I did was to replace the abstract base class Door by a C# representation: [File: PythonAbstractBaseClass.dll] ------- namespace PythonAbstractBaseClass { public abstract class Door { public virtual void Open() { if (!IsOpen()) Toggle(); } public virtual void Close() { if (IsOpen()) Toggle(); } public abstract bool IsOpen(); public abstract void Toggle(); } } ------- Removing Door from the Python part and importing it from the .NET assembly instead, I end up with this: [File: room2.py] ------- import clr import abc from PythonAbstractBaseClass import Door class Room(object): def __init__(self, door): self.door = door def open(self): self.door.open() def close(self): self.door.close() def is_open(self): return self.door.is_open() class StringDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = "closed" def is_open(self): return self.status == "open" def toggle(self): if self.status == "open": self.status = "closed" else: self.status = "open" class BooleanDoor(Door): def __init__(self): self.status = True def is_open(self): return self.status def toggle(self): self.status = not (self.status) Door.register(StringDoor) Door.register(BooleanDoor) ------- But this fails with the following error message: Door.register(StringDoor) AttributeError: type object 'Door' has no attribute 'register' >From what I understood about abc.ABCMeta, this metaclass contributes the 'register' method. It seems that abstract C# classes do not come with the same metaclass. They instead come with metaclass "CLR Metatype" which obviously does not provide 'register'. But if I drop the call to 'register', on instantiating one of the derived classes, I receive the error message sdoor = StringDoor() TypeError: cannot instantiate abstract class Is there a way to inherit from an abstract .NET class or is this is missing feature? Thanks in advance, Henning
