1Are you trying to put Python code in a DLL and call this from C#? – Martin Thurau Aug 26 '11 at 08:27

For .NET, you need IronPython, not "ordinary" Python. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2437306/generate-net-assemblies-from-iron-python – alexanderlukanin13 Aug 26 '11 at 08:40

Maybe you should consider using [IronPython](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IronPython). – Jeannot Aug 26 '11 at 08:42

Pyrex + ctypes appears to be the answer, but a COM server might be more convenient than a win32 dll. – David Heffernan Aug 26 '11 at 13:18

You can compile your Python sources to a DLL with pyc.py, in the Samples directory of IronPython. However, you can't load this DLL from C# directly - you'll still need to host IronPython, but then you can reference the DLL with the IronPython engine and import from it.

Try do some investigation about Pyrex. I'm not sure if it will solve your issue, but at least I seen that some guys was trying to get it working.

You don't need any DLL, you just need to load your Python sources using IronPython

So, how can we hide the python sources. I have to bundle it in the C# .dll. Is it possible? – Roshan B Vishwakarma Aug 29 '11 at 08:09

Absolutely, include the source as a string resource in your assembly. – Michael Baker Sep 11 '11 at 00:15
