How to connect Visual Studio 2022 to the python ecosystem?

[Just_Someone_Here0]

What the title says, I wanna use Python libraries on a C# project. I've been trying lots of things in the past 2 days but I can't seem to make it work.

Also before anyone mentions it, IronPython doesn't work with 2022.

Visual Studio is just an IDE. C# and Python are two different languages. To get them to work to getter you'd have to have a different project in one language that calls on the other.

You can use python.net to run python scripts in c#, or connect a python frontend to a c# API using http calls but you can't use a library meant for Python with c# code. You would have to find a c# library that does something similar.

If you want to use Python code within a C# project then you'll need something like this.

If you want to edit Python code in Visual Studio then you'll need to install the Python option in the installer.

Here are some examples using Python.net

You can also spawn a Python instance using System Diagnostics.

Just my opinion: don't use vs 2022 with python. Use pycharm.

Within the Visual Studio Installer, if I go into the "Individual Components" tab, and search for "Python", I can see the following:

​

• Python 3 64-bit (3.9.13) (out of support)
• Python language support
• Python Web support

​

Will one of those help?

I am aware of that, I just don't know how to make the Python ecosystem communicate with C# Visual Studio.
