Py.GIL() is giving error pythonnet embedded python in C#

Question

I have the following C# code:

static void Main()
        {


            string pythonpath1 = @"C:\Users\user\Documents\pynet_test\Python\Python37";
            string pythonpath2 = @"C:\Users\user\Documents\pynet_test\Python\Python37\lib";
            string envpythonhome = @"C:\Users\user\Documents\pynet_test\Python\Python37\python37.dll";


            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PYTHONNET_PYDLL", envpythonhome, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PATH", pythonpath1, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PYTHONHOME", pythonpath1, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PYTHONPATH", pythonpath2, EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);

            

            using (Py.GIL())
            {
                dynamic np = Py.Import("numpy");
                Console.WriteLine(np.cos(np.pi * 2));

                dynamic sin = np.sin;
                Console.WriteLine(sin(5));

                double c = np.cos(5) + sin(5);
                Console.WriteLine(c);

                dynamic a = np.array(new List<float> { 1, 2, 3 });
                Console.WriteLine(a.dtype);

                dynamic b = np.array(new List<float> { 6, 5, 4 }, dtype: np.int32);
                Console.WriteLine(b.dtype);

                Console.WriteLine(a * b);
            }

            Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now);

        }

The error I am getting is:

System.MissingMethodException
  HResult=0x80131513
  Message=Method not found: 'System.Reflection.Emit.AssemblyBuilder System.AppDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly(System.Reflection.AssemblyName, System.Reflection.Emit.AssemblyBuilderAccess)'.
  Source=Python.Runtime

   at Python.Runtime.Py.GIL()
   at WrapperPython.Program.Main() in C:\Users\user\Documents\pynet_test\pynet_test\Program.cs:line 50

The Python environment is in the Project folder and this is the following specifications:

python version used : 3.7 (x64)

pythonnet version: 2.5.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64

OS : Windows Server 2019

Reference has been made to the python.Runtime.dll under site-packaged. CSproj looks like following:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.1</TargetFramework>
      <LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
    <ImplicitUsings>enable</ImplicitUsings>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <PlatformTarget>x64</PlatformTarget>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <Reference Include="Python.Runtime">
      <HintPath>..\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\Python.Runtime.dll</HintPath>
    </Reference>
  </ItemGroup>


</Project>

I have tried everything provided online but can't seem to find the issue. I have a hunch it's based on the environment variables but not sure how to proceed.

okay so python.net installation is really not well documented and the folks maintaining the python.net repository don't really help a lot since it's not a "support forum".

I solved this issue by installing the python.runtime.AllPlatflorms nuget package and pointing the environment variables to the right python folders/ files.

This works with python3.8 as well.
