pythonnet is a package that gives .NET programmers ability to integrate Python engine and use Python libraries.

Embedding Python in .NET

  • You must set Runtime.PythonDLL property or PYTHONNET_PYDLL environment variable, otherwise you will receive BadPythonDllException (internal, derived from MissingMethodException) upon calling Initialize. Typical values are python38.dll (Windows), libpython3.8.dylib (Mac), libpython3.8.so (most other *nix). Full path may be required.
  • Then call PythonEngine.Initialize(). If you plan to use Python objects from multiple threads, also call PythonEngine.BeginAllowThreads().
  • All calls to Python should be inside a using (Py.GIL()) {/* Your code here */} block.
  • Import python modules using dynamic mod = Py.Import("mod"), then you can call functions as normal, eg mod.func(args). You can also access Python objects via PyObject and dervied types instead of using dynamic.
  • Use mod.func(args, Py.kw("keywordargname", keywordargvalue)) or mod.func(args, keywordargname: keywordargvalue) to apply keyword arguments.
  • Mathematical operations involving python and literal/managed types must have the python object first, eg. np.pi * 2 works, 2 * np.pi doesn't.

Example

using var _ = Py.GIL();

dynamic np = Py.Import("numpy");
Console.WriteLine(np.cos(np.pi * 2));

dynamic sin = np.sin;
Console.WriteLine(sin(5));

double c = (double)(np.cos(5) + sin(5));
Console.WriteLine(c);

dynamic a = np.array(new List<float> { 1, 2, 3 });
Console.WriteLine(a.dtype);

dynamic b = np.array(new List<float> { 6, 5, 4 }, dtype: np.int32);
Console.WriteLine(b.dtype);

Console.WriteLine(a * b);
Console.ReadKey();

Output:

1.0
-0.958924274663
-0.6752620892
float64
int32
[  6.  10.  12.]

Python.Included is an automatic deployment mechanism for .NET packages which depend on the embedded Python distribution. This allows libraries depending on Python and/or Python packages to be deployed via Nuget without having to worry about any local Python installations.

Numpy.Bare

C# bindings for NumPy on Win64 - a fundamental library for scientific computing, machine learning and AI. Does require Python 3.7 with NumPy 1.16 installed!

Gradient.Runtime

Core runtime components for Gradient

LostTech.NumPy

.NET bindings for NumPy. Requires the actual Python with NumPy installed.
