Hi, I saw this somewhat old thread on an IronPython forum (Link: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythondotnet/2006-June/000504.html, also shown below.) and I am trying to do exactly the same thing as the person who originally posed the question: I would like to run .py files from within a C# program, using pythonEngine. The .py files contain several python functions that I would like to be able to call. I was wondering if the newer versions of IronPython have fixed this problem and if there is now a solution for what I'm trying to do? Also, is there somewhere that I might find documentation as to the functions/API for pythonEngine? Thanks, Dylan -----------------------ORIGINAL THREAD----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you tried using the PythonEngine.RunString (not RunSimpleString) method? Still not as convenient as having a RunFile, but that should do what you need for now. -Brian
