I am curious as to the best way to share data from a WPF program with a python script from within a loop where the values are continuously being updated. Here is a psuedo-codish example that expresses the kind of functionality I'm hoping for.

Wpf example:

    while(true)
{
var x = arbitraryNumber0;
var y = arbitraryNumber1;
var z = arbitraryNumber2;

sendToPython(arbitraryNumber0, arbitraryNumber1, arbitraryNumber2);

arbitraryNumber0++;
arbitraryNumber1++;
arbitraryNumber2++;
}

Python script example:

  #stream in x, y, z From WPF 
  product = arbNumFromWPF0 * arbNumFromWPF1 * arbNumFromWPF2
  #do stuff with product

I have tried using c# process's but the problem was that it would need to start the python shell on every new iteration. Which would cause my system to crash. I have looked into ironpython, pipes, and sockets but can not find an example similar to what I'm trying to do, and am wondering what method I should use to achieve this functionality. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I see that IronPython seems to allow for the writing of python inside of .net, and that it can execute python scripts, I just can't find an example that seems to show how to update parameters as they are being read by a separate python script and that could keep reading those updated values on each new iteration. Would I have to execute the script every iteration? I've been having a hard time finding a good resource I could use to figure out IronPython's functionality. Commented Mar 20, 2019 at 21:46
  • Please consider providing a concrete example, not pseudo-code. Commented Mar 20, 2019 at 22:33
