Here is my code to execute a python script from C # with redirected standard input and output (I pass the information through standard input), copied from an example on the Internet somewhere. The Python location is hard-coded, as you can see, refactoring can.
private static string CallPython(string script, string pyArgs, string workingDirectory, string[] standardInput)
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo;
Process process;
string ret = "";
try
{
startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\python25\python.exe");
startInfo.WorkingDirectory = workingDirectory;
if (pyArgs.Length != 0)
startInfo.Arguments = script + " " + pyArgs;
else
startInfo.Arguments = script;
startInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
startInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
startInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = startInfo;
process.Start();
foreach (string si in standardInput)
{
process.StandardInput.WriteLine(si);
}
string s;
while ((s = process.StandardError.ReadLine()) != null)
{
ret += s;
throw new System.Exception(ret);
}
while ((s = process.StandardOutput.ReadLine()) != null)
{
ret += s;
}
return ret;
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
string problem = ex.Message;
return problem;
}
}
