Environment

Pythonnet version: 3.0.3
Python version: 3.12
Operating System: Windows 11 pro
.NET Runtime: 6

Details

I am trying to setup pythonnet to run some python scripts in my c# app, but i'm getting the usual DllNotFoundException when setting the Runtime.PythonDLL variable

If i'm not wrong, both the python version and the .net runtime are supported so that shouldn't be the issue

this is what i do

    
            string dllpth = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
            dllpth += "\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python312\\python312.dll";

            Runtime.PythonDLL = dllpth;
            PythonEngine.Initialize();

i also tried

    
            string dllpth = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);
            dllpth += "\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python312\\python312.dll";

            Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("PYTHONNET_PYDLL", dllpth);
            PythonEngine.Initialize();

Errors are:

System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'Delegates' threw an exception.'
Win32Exception: Impossibile trovare il modulo specificato.

and

System.TypeInitializationException: 'The type initializer for 'Delegates' threw an exception.'
DllNotFoundException: Could not load C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\python312.dll.

with details:

I already tried:

reinstalling python
changing build target to x64

I also searched online for a solution, but can't find anything besides changing the build target

Can you please help me?

For Python x64 use x64 profile app (Any CPU - not working)

Is there a chance you're just not installing the package correctly?

# from your .csproj directory
dotnet add package pythonnet

Or possibly Python itself? Sounds like Python wasn't added to your environment PATH variables. Our Stock Indicators for Python QuickStart may help with more details on how to setup your environment, though our use case is a bit different.

I'm having ecapt same issue. Weird thing is that on my dev computer, I got it working. Then I updated my app's Flight in MS store and tested with my laptop: getting the dllNotFound whatever I do. Tried several different versions and also checked that maybe the python38.dll (or 310.dll) has some dependency missing, but no...

Actually, my issue was that one of the dependencies, msvc was not installed in target machine. I discovered when I ditched the pythonnet and starter running python just with process.start. So, it was actually one of the python scripts that failed to load the dll, but pythonnet completely "ate" the original error and made it look like the pythonnet.dll had some missing dependency. Pretty common case with c# and dependency dll load issues: the actual root cause gets lost in translation 😆

static void Main(string[] args)
{

    Runtime.PythonDLL = @"python313.dll";
    PythonEngine.Initialize();

    using (Py.GIL())
    {
        // Import TensorFlow preprocessing script
        string modulePath = @"D:\ocr_v1\ConsoleApp1\ConsoleApp1\AiNet";
        dynamic sys = Py.Import("sys");
        sys.path.append(modulePath);

        // Import your Python module and use it
        dynamic utils = Py.Import("utils");
        // Process image and run model prediction
        string imagePath = "D:\\ocr_v1\\ConsoleApp1\\ConsoleApp1\\AiNet\\20160805-130.webp";
        dynamic result = utils.detect_and_process_id_card(imagePath);

        Console.WriteLine($"Predicted Class: {result}");
    }

    PythonEngine.Shutdown();
}

I used something like that and worked to me and I create configuration manger of X64 to be combatable with with my vs and here where python live C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313
