I have a simple python program named hello.py
import sys
def Simple():
print "Hello from Python"
How do I display the output of this program in a text box located in a Web Form of type .aspx.cs
protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox1.Text = // Output of hello.py to be asigned to TextBox1.Text
}
You have to follow these steps to achieve this.
Host that python file in CGI, lets say link is http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.py and invoke that using WebClient and get output. Following are code for invoking URL using WebClient.
protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient client = new WebClient();
string reply = client.DownloadString("http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.py"); // address = CGI hosted URL
TextBox1.Text = reply;
}
ELSE
Assumption: You have python installed in windows system.
"c:\python26\python.exe" "abc.py". We will use this in next step.var proc = new Process { StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo { FileName = "c:\python26\python.exe", Arguments = "abc.py", UseShellExecute = false, RedirectStandardOutput = true, CreateNoWindow = true } }; proc.Start(); while (!proc.StandardOutput.EndOfStream) { string line = proc.StandardOutput.ReadLine(); // do something with line TextBox1.Text = line; }
OR - use this link http://blog.luisrei.com/articles/flaskrest.html - this shows , how to make python code REST based thing, and you can invoke directly that REST API in asp.net code.
