How to Create a python Dll file that should be used in C#.net?

Question

I have to create a win32 python dll file which can used in C#.Net code. And access the classes & functions present in the dll file through C#. Is there any way to create a win32 python dll?

Please help me out....

Are you trying to put Python code in a DLL and call this from C#? — Martin Thurau

For .NET, you need IronPython, not "ordinary" Python. stackoverflow.com/questions/2437306/… — alexanderlukanin13

Pyrex + ctypes appears to be the answer, but a COM server might be more convenient than a win32 dll. — David Heffernan

You can compile your Python sources to a DLL with pyc.py, in the Samples directory of IronPython. However, you can't load this DLL from C# directly - you'll still need to host IronPython, but then you can reference the DLL with the IronPython engine and import from it.

Try do some investigation about Pyrex. I'm not sure if it will solve your issue, but at least I seen that some guys was trying to get it working.

You don't need any DLL, you just need to load your Python sources using IronPython

So, how can we hide the python sources. I have to bundle it in the C# .dll. Is it possible?

Absolutely, include the source as a string resource in your assembly.
