`pythonnet` is a package that gives .NET programmers ability to
integrate Python engine and use Python libraries.

## Embedding Python in .NET

- You must set `Runtime.PythonDLL` property or `PYTHONNET_PYDLL` environment variable,
otherwise you will receive `BadPythonDllException`
(internal, derived from `MissingMethodException`) upon calling `Initialize`.
Typical values are `python38.dll` (Windows), `libpython3.8.dylib` (Mac),
`libpython3.8.so` (most other *nix). Full path may be required.
- All calls to Python should be inside a
`using (Py.GIL()) {/* Your code here */}` block.
- Import python modules using `dynamic mod = Py.Import("mod")`, then
you can call functions as normal, eg `mod.func(args)`.
You can also access Python objects via `PyObject` and dervied types
instead of using `dynamic`.
- Use `mod.func(args, Py.kw("keywordargname", keywordargvalue))` or
`mod.func(args, keywordargname: keywordargvalue)` to apply keyword
arguments.
- Mathematical operations involving python and literal/managed types
must have the python object first, eg. `np.pi * 2` works,
`2 * np.pi` doesn't.

## Example

```csharp
using var _ = Py.GIL();

dynamic np = Py.Import("numpy");
Console.WriteLine(np.cos(np.pi * 2));

dynamic sin = np.sin;
Console.WriteLine(sin(5));

double c = (double)(np.cos(5) + sin(5));
Console.WriteLine(c);

dynamic a = np.array(new List<float> { 1, 2, 3 });
Console.WriteLine(a.dtype);

dynamic b = np.array(new List<float> { 6, 5, 4 }, dtype: np.int32);
Console.WriteLine(b.dtype);

Console.WriteLine(a * b);
Console.ReadKey();
```

Output:

```

int32
[ 6. 10. 12.]
```
