How do I run a Python script from C#?
The reason it isn't working is because you have UseShellExecute = false
.
If you don't use the shell, you will have to supply the complete path to the python executable as FileName
, and build the Arguments
string to supply both your script and the file you want to read.
Also note, that you can't RedirectStandardOutput
unless UseShellExecute = false
.
I'm not quite sure how the argument string should be formatted for python, but you will need something like this:
private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
{
ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
start.FileName = "my/full/path/to/python.exe";
start.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", cmd, args);
start.UseShellExecute = false;
start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
using(Process process = Process.Start(start))
{
using(StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
{
string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
Console.Write(result);
}
}
}
