Hi Brain, I am Ranish form India, doing as a programmer. Can I use a .NET generated dll (Regular dll ) directly form Python (Not python .NET) ? I am using calldll module, and getting a message as DLL loading failed (for my dll) But when I tried to load kernal32.dll, its scusses. Why ? [ I called my dll form C++ its working finely ] Do I need to register my dll in system ? Please help me in explain the reason, for this. Thanks for your time.

The unofficial version of Python.NET for .NET Framework v2.0 has been updated and available for download in both pre-compiled or source form. Please not the source form will require the installation of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK (~125MB download), and Visual IL. This release incorporates some bug fixed and work arounds that have been reported since the origional 0.1 release. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=149840&package_id=181… mike

Tips for Python .Net 2.0
by T Barket 26 ফেব্রুয়ারি, 2006

26 ফেব্রুয়ারি, 2006

Hello, I noticed some recent posts about creating a Python for .Net 2.0. I went through this about six weeks ago and learned some lessons that i think will help. I started with Michael Eddington's visual studio project (and thanks again Michael for this). However, i ran into some trouble and found some fixes. i communicated these to Michael so he may have incorporated them into his visual studio project already. but just in case he has not, i am writing out this email in case it helps anyone else. Pls feel free to ignore them if you don't need them. Lessons from Michael Eddington's Python for .Net 2.0: 1) the PythonNet2.0-0.1.zip file didn't include a file called "clrmodule.il" but I substituted with the original one from Brian's pythonnet-1.0-rc2-py2.4-clr1.1-src.zip 2) Then everything compiled and linked just fine. TestPython.exe worked fine and the Python.exe launched and I could do "import CLR" and "import CLR.System". However, I could not "import CLR.System.Windows" or "import CLR.System.Drawing": Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CLR >>> import CLR.System.Windows Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named Windows >>> import CLR.System.Drawing Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? ImportError: No module named Drawing >>> 3) This problem is bc in .Net 2.0, System.Reflection.Assembly.LoadWithPartialName is now supposed to be obsolete (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0a7zy9z5.aspx). And I recognized the change Michael made inside assemblymanager.cs's LoadAssembly method to reflect this. However, if you undo Michael's change to assemblymanager.LoadAssembly from: assembly = Assembly.Load(name) back to the original: assembly = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName(name) it will work correctly as it used to. LoadWithPartialName is not quite obsolete, it is merely deprecated. it still works in .Net 2.0. Run this code in a simple C# app to see what i mean: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using System.Reflection; namespace Test_Assembly_Load { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Assembly assembly = null; Console.WriteLine("Try LoadWithPartialName - System.Windows.Forms"); assembly = Assembly.LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms"); Console.WriteLine("LoadWithPartialName - System.Windows.Forms: " + assembly.ToString()); Console.WriteLine("Try Load - System.Windows.Forms"); assembly = Assembly.Load("System.Windows.Forms"); // Causes runtime crash in both .net 1.1 and 2.0. Console.WriteLine("Load - System.Windows.Forms: " + assembly.ToString()); } } } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- 4) With the changes so far, I was able to use the PythonNet2.0 generated Python.exe with no problems. However, i wasnt able to use clr.dll and python.runtime.dll with a standard cpython interpretter, such as c:/python24/python.exe, winpython or ipython which i was albe to do with PythonNet 1.0. 5) To fix (4), i made two changes to Michael's project (which i suspect go back to Brian's original code). I commented out the code that performs the import hook replacement in pythonengine.InitEx(): // string code = // "import traceback\n" + // "for item in traceback.extract_stack():\n" + // " line = item[3]\n" + // " if line is not None:\n" + // " if line.startswith('import CLR') or \\\n" + // " line.startswith('from CLR'):\n" + // " exec line\n" + // " break\n"; // PyObject r = PythonEngine.RunString(code); // if (r != null) { // r.Dispose(); // } and rewrote a line of code in inputhook.Initialize(): Runtime.PyObject_SetAttrString(mod, "import_clr_dll", hook.ptr); //<- new line //Runtime.PyObject_SetAttrString(mod, "__import__", hook.ptr); <- replaces this old line What I have now leaves python's original import mechanism alone and for importing python-for-.net dlls I use a separate function that works as follows: C:\Documents and Settings\tbarket>python Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import CLR >>> import_clr_dll('CLR.System.Windows.Forms') <module 'CLR'> >>> CLR.System.Windows.Forms <module 'CLR.System.Windows.Forms'> Yes, I recognize it is a bit of a kludge to use "import_clr_dll('CLR.System.Windows.Forms')" instead of "import CLR.System.Windows.Forms" but i personally find this worth doing to get it to work with a standard c python interpretter via the two dlls and it was the only way i knew how to do it. i am not a profeesional programmer and a great deal of Python for .Net code is above my head and i felt very fortunate just to be able to get it to work again with these few changes. i also dont find this to be too much worse than the confusion generated over having to do an explicit "import CLR" before importing another CLR module. 6) Brian, as a personal note, i would strongly encourage you to keep going with Python for .Net regardless of IronPython. I personally have alot of python C/C++ extensions (and use alot of python modules which rely on other C/C++ extensions) which will keep me with cpython for a long, long, long time to come. Python for .Net allows me to use python as my preferred language of choice and still make use of the C# libraries that i find useful. ie, it continues python's wonderful tradition of gluing anything together. i also use C# to write my Windows GUI objects and utilize/populate them with data from my "real work code" in cpython. Moving from Python for .Net to IronPython would be like moving everything i have in C++ to C# which i am just not willing to do yet and wont for a long, long time. Tom Barket

6) Brian, as a personal note, i would strongly encourage you to keep going with Python for .Net regardless of IronPython. I'd like to heartily second this. Being able to use dotnet in python is much more useful to me than the other way around...

WndProc
by Pierre Zeeman 9 ফেব্রুয়ারি, 2006

9 ফেব্রুয়ারি, 2006

Hi, This is probably a rather obscure question, but I don't suppose anyone here knows how to override WndProc? I am using dotnet to provide a GUI for python code and I'd like to use the win32 api WM_COPYDATA message to send simple messages between forms. I can do this in c# using this rather simple bit of code: protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { if (m.Msg == WM_COPYDATA) { //do something with message } base.WndProc(ref m); } But despite my best efforts, I can't seem to get this to work in pythondotnet. Any ideas?

Hi all, Why can't I import in Python the CLR.System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary assembly? I can import only System.Collections.Generic. Another thing. I have the following finction in C# public PyDict myfunc(PyDict PythonDict) { return PythonDict; } and I call it from Python dct = myfunc({"aaa":"bbb"}) I receive an error: TypeError: no method matches given arguments Where can I find a manual with samples of use of PyDict, PyList, PyString, etc.? Thanks in advance, Catalin
