Using .Net with EG

[TMSxEventGhost]

Hi!

Since I am not a Python guy, but a .Net one, I am wondering how to import .Net assemblies in Event Ghost.

I found for example that we can use https://bitbucket.org/pydotnet/pydotnet/wiki/Home for that, however, I can not figure out how to make EG recognize this wrapper, after installing it via msi package, a naive

Code: Select all

import dotnet.seamless

dose not work, EG says no such module found.

Should I *register* PyDotNet somehow in EG, or maybe I should install it into some particular sub folder in EG directory? or that not possible at all? thx for help.

EventGhost 0.4 uses a builtin Python 2.6, so for a Python module to be seen by it, the module needs to be somewhere like the plugins directory or "EventGhost install dir\lib26\site-packages". You can also specify where Python should look for modules with sys.path.

EventGhost 0.5 beta seems to work differently, as I have not looked into it can't give more info

EG 0.5 will also add the python site-packages folder if you have python installed on your machine, it will add those packages for use in EG as well

Yeah that seems promising, however, unfortunately most of the plugins that I use still do not work with EG 0.5, so upgrading currently is not an option.

Any ideas of how to use .Net with current 0.4 EG? thx.

what are the plugins that you use??. I will check them out and see if we can't get them working with EG 0.5

Looks like the pydotnet only supports Python 2.7 and above so it will probably not work in EventGhost 0.4.

I see.

Ok I ended up currently to that will send mutual command line commands between my .Net based app and EG.

Dose EG supports any other protocol of communication between programs, like DDL for example?
