Welcome to the embed_python_winforms wiki!

This is a trial windows forms application to test embedding python using pythonnet.

Details of the architecture:

OS: Windows 10 64 bit python: ver 3.5.0 (x86) pythonnet: ver 2.4.1.0 (x86) Visual Studio: Community ver 2019 project architecture: x86

Steps to set up the environment:

1. Install python 3.5 https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-350/
2. Add python's folder and Lib folder in the Path environment variable
3. Install pythonnet using pip pip install pythonnet Note: requires the wheel package.
4. Install any other python libraries that you'd be using in the winforms appln.
5. Add the path of Python.Runtime.dll to the winforms reference list: ( Project→Add preferences menu in VS) Note: the DLL file would be located in the "...\Python 3.5\Lib\site-packages" folder.

Note: Do not use pythonnet from nuget package. It was excruciatingly hard to match the python and the winform architectures to match. Installing pythonnet using pip is a lot easier.
