returning a value to a c# program through python script

Question

I have a C# program which executes a python scrip

How can I retrieve the python returning value in my C# program ?

thanks!

Do you mean the exit code, which is just an integer value, or a more elaborate value, like a string? — Lasse V. Karlsen

an integer, which indicates if the python script ran successfuly. — John Terry

As far as I know, you should use ScriptScope object which you create from the ScriptEngine object using CreateScope method

ScriptEngine engine = ScriptRuntime.Create().GetEngine("py");
ScriptScope scope = engine.CreateScope();

Then you can share variables between the C# program and the python script by doing this

scope.SetVariable("x", x);

I assume this is only for IronPython? Still interesting though.

Yes this is for both IronPython & IronRuby, I thought you meant Iron Python in the first place :)

if your using System.Diagnostics.Process to launch your python script, then you can get the return code after process exit

using

process.ExitCode
