Wrapping Python 3.7 code in C#

Will Pittenger 311

I'm looking at wrapping an existing Python project, yt-dlp, in C#.NET. They need Python 3.7. The main thing I want to do is to is call their code, though being able to pass them a delegate, if they use something like that in their code, might help.

Any suggestions?

Hi,@Will Pittenger. Welcome Microsoft Q&A. You could wrap an existing Python project yt-dlp in C#.NET using the Python.NET library. Here's an example of how you can call yt-dlp from C# using Python.NET:

1.Install Python.NET: You can install Python.NET via NuGet by adding the PythonNet package to your C# project.

2.Import the necessary namespaces:

using Python.Runtime;

3.Initialize the Python runtime:

PythonEngine.Initialize();

Call yt-dlp functions:

using (Py.GIL()) // Acquire the Python GIL (Global Interpreter Lock) { dynamic ytDlp = Py.Import("yt_dlp"); dynamic options = ytDlp.get_default_downloader().Params; // Set yt-dlp options options.some_option = "some_value"; // Call yt-dlp function dynamic result = ytDlp.some_function(); // Access the result Console.WriteLine(result); }

Make sure you have Python 3.7 installed and the required dependencies for yt-dlp set up in your Python environment.

Or you could check to see if you can use the solution here.
