Using Ironpython, I created a .dll from a .py file. It has classes and respective functions that I want to call to be used in c#. I created the .dll so that I can hide the source from the user.
Here is what I have tried:
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
scope = engine.CreateScope();
engine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(Assembly.LoadFile(fullPath2DLL));
scope = engine.ImportModule("Simulation");
However, it cannot find "Simulation".
Also, I want to import the whole script at once so I can call whatever, whenever [Rather than the class 'Simulation'].
Many things could go wrong, so I'll just show you complete example which works. Let's take this python code that I grabbed in some example:
MyGlobal = 5
class Customer(object):
"""A customer of ABC Bank with a checking account. Customers have the
following properties:
Attributes:
name: A string representing the customer's name.
balance: A float tracking the current balance of the customer's account.
"""
def __init__(self, name, balance=0.0):
"""Return a Customer object whose name is *name* and starting
balance is *balance*."""
self.name = name
self.balance = balance
def withdraw(self, amount):
"""Return the balance remaining after withdrawing *amount*
dollars."""
if amount > self.balance:
raise RuntimeError('Amount greater than available balance.')
self.balance -= amount
return self.balance
def deposit(self, amount):
"""Return the balance remaining after depositing *amount*
dollars."""
self.balance += amount
return self.balance
Now let's open ipy and compile that into dll with:
>>> import clr
>>> clr.CompileModules("path_to.dll", "path_to.py");
Now we have dll. As you see python code contains class definition, and our goal is to create instance of that class in C# and call some methods.
public class Program {
private static void Main(string[] args) {
ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();
engine.Runtime.LoadAssembly(Assembly.LoadFile(@"path_to.dll"));
// note how scope is created.
// "test" is just the name of python file from which dll was compiled.
// "test.py" > module named "test"
var scope = engine.Runtime.ImportModule("test");
// fetching global is as easy as this
int g = scope.GetVariable("MyGlobal");
// writes 5
Console.WriteLine(g);
// how class type is grabbed
var customerType = scope.GetVariable("Customer");
// how class is created using constructor with name (note dynamic keyword also)
dynamic customer = engine.Operations.CreateInstance(customerType, "Customer Name");
// calling method on dynamic object
var balance = customer.deposit(10.0m);
// this outputs 10, as it should
Console.WriteLine(balance);
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
