Python and Win Forms

Hi,

I have recently started to learn Python as some structures of the language make it far easier to solve some programming issues that I need to face. However, I want to integrate it with windows forms for user interaction. This mostly is around inputs, which are then passed to the python code. I am using Visual Studio 2012 as my IDE.

I have used Google to find examples of how to do this but I haven't found anything particularly useful or well written. Does anyone have suggested links or sample code they can share to do this?

Thanks in advance,
John.

Do you mean .NET System.Window.Forms?

Please add the tag "Forms"; you are the one who is interested the most.

Check out Python for .NET: and Iron Python:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pythonnet/files/[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Python[^],
http://ironpython.net/[^].

You can also use command-line Python interpreter in you application running it through System.Diagnostics.Process.Start. You will need to redirect the streams StandardInput, StandardOutput and StandardError and work with the Python application through these streams.

Please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.standardinput.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.standardoutput.aspx[^].

Two last MSDN articles referenced above show code samples for redirection.
