I have my script written in Python and GUI for it in C#. That is why I'd like to run Python from C# (I have to use the original Python version because of various modules which i.e. IronPython does not support). To secure the script I embedded it into the .exe file. Now, how can I get the script path? My previous code:

    string python = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location) + @"\python\python.exe";

    // NOW it obviously does not work
    string scriptPath = @"C:\..\script.py";

    ProcessStartInfo myProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(python);
    myProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    myProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
    myProcessStartInfo.Arguments = scriptPath;
    Process myProcess = new Process();
    myProcess.StartInfo = myProcessStartInfo;
    myProcess.Start();

Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceStream(...) won't be useful here because I don't want stream (or do I?), just the path.

If the script is an embedded resource (How to read embedded resource text file), you could read it as string and use the -c parameter of python.exe

  • I'll try it out, thanks. But what if it's quite a big script, won't it slow the process down? – Mike Mar 14 '19 at 17:39
