I have yet to find a simple example of executing an IronPython script from C#, so here is mine. Note that the Project I created is called ByFeatureApp and the WebScrapper class is public. I also show setting a variable (the) in C# and then the python script prints the value.
C# Code
namespace ByFeatureApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var the = "hello I'm the the string";
var engine = Python.CreateEngine();
var source = engine.CreateScriptSourceFromFile("Scripts\\test.py");
var scope = engine.CreateScope();
source.Engine.SetVariable(scope, "the", the);
source.Execute(scope);
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
public class WebScraper
{
public void LoadUrl(string url)
{
Html = new WebClient().DownloadString(url);
}
public string Html { get; set; }
}
}
IronPython Script
import clr
clr.AddReference('ByFeatureApp')
from ByFeatureApp import *
print the
ws = WebScraper()
ws.LoadUrl('http://www.barchart.com')
istart = ws.Html.find('<tr><td><a href="http://quote.barchart.com/quote.asp?sym=GCQ9">Gold</a>')
iend = ws.Html.find('</tr>', istart)
print ws.Html[istart:iend+5]
Anyway I hope this is useful.
