I am trying to import scikit-learn in a C# (console) application. I am using Python Tools for Visual Studio and IronPython 2.7.3.
I managed to run an external python script and I also managed to import numpy by declaring the python path: "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\"
However, when it comes to scikit-learn I get an error message:
Oops! We couldn't execute the script because of an exception: No module named _c
heck_build

Contents of C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\sklearn\__check_build:

It seems that scikit-learn has not been built correctly.
If you have installed scikit-learn from source, please do not forget
to build the package before using it: run `python setup.py install` or
`make` in the source directory.
If you have used an installer, please check that it is suited for your
Python version, your operating system and your platform.
The file "_check_build.pyd" exists in "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\sklearn__check_build\".
My code is based on this article: http://devleader.ca/2013/09/23/visual-studio-c-python-sweet/ The file I am using has only the following code:
from sklearn.svm import SVC
print('Hello Python in C#')
Is it possible to add and use scikit in C#? If yes, could you please provide a workaround?
