Pythonnet .NET 6

Question

After hours of searching and trial and error, I finally decided to ask you guys for help. As I'm trying to call some functions from a .NET 6 open source project from python, I installed python3.8.4 on my raspberry pi and managed to install the pythonnet 3.0.0 module.

my app.runtime.json is the following:

{
  "runtimeOptions": {
   "tfm": "net6.0",
   "framework": {
    "name": "Microsoft.NETCore.App",
    "version": "6.0.102"
    }
   }
}

and when I try to load the CLR like this:

from clr_loader import get_coreclr
from pythonnet import set_runtime

rt = get_coreclr("app.runtime.json")
set_runtime(rt)
import sys

I get the following error message:

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last) Input In [11], in 1 from clr_loader import get_coreclr 2 from pythonnet import set_runtime ----> 4 rt = get_coreclr("app.runtime.json") 5 set_runtime(rt) 6 import sys

File ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/clr_loader/init.py:42, in get_coreclr(runtime_config, dotnet_root, properties) 39 from .hostfxr import DotnetCoreRuntime 41 if dotnet_root is None: ---> 42 dotnet_root = find_dotnet_root() 44 impl = DotnetCoreRuntime(runtime_config=runtime_config, dotnet_root=dotnet_root) 45 if properties:

File ~/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/clr_loader/util/find.py:22, in find_dotnet_root() 20 dotnet_path = shutil.which("dotnet") 21 if not dotnet_path: ---> 22 raise RuntimeError("Can not determine dotnet root") 24 try: 25 # Pypy does not provide os.readlink right now 26 if hasattr(os, "readlink"):

RuntimeError: Can not determine dotnet root

I exported the path to my dotnet 6.0 sdk to PATH and when I use "dotnet --version" it prints out 6.0.102.

What can I possibly have done wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Epi
