This project is in prototype stage and the API is subject to change.
CSnakes is a .NET Source Generator and Runtime that you can use to embed Python code and libraries into your .NET Solution without the need for REST, HTTP, or Microservices.
- Supports .NET Standard 8-9
- Supports Python 3.9-3.13
- Supports Virtual Environments and C-Extensions
- Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Tight integration between NumPy ndarrays and Spans, 2D Spans and TensorSpans (.NET 9)
- Uses Python's C-API for fast invocation of Python code directly in the .NET process
- Uses Python type hinting to generate function signatures with .NET native types
- Supports CPython 3.13 "free-threading" mode
- Supports nested sequence and mapping types (
tuple,dict,list) - Supports default values
Given the following Python file called example.py
def hello_world(name: str, age: int) -> str:
return f"Hello {name}, you must be {age} years old!"CSnakes will generate a static .NET class called Example with the function:
public class Example {
public static string HelloWorld(string name, long age) {
...
}
}When called, HelloWorld() will invoke the Python function from example.py using Python's C-API and return native .NET types.
