IronPython Microsoft.Scripting.SyntaxErrorException: Could not find file

Question

I am pretty new in .net applications. I am trying to create a desktop application which will run python scripts in c#. I am using IronPython but it cannot find the python file it needs to be executed. The file does exist in the directory and the script runs fine externally. Any help to find a work around will be great help.

@Hossain, Shakir , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, based on my test, I find that it indeed is the path problem and I can get the correct result from the absolute path. If the absolute path is not working for you, have you considered use relative path？If considered, you can copy the python file into your current project bin->debug folder.

Then you could use the following code to call the python file.

 var engine=Python.CreateEngine();  
  engine.ExecuteFile("test1.py");  

Best Regards,
