<?php

exec('python /location/to/python-script.py');

echo 'Job done!';

I tried to rewrite a go based program in c#.

That was a similar solution as go has a lot of multi thread support that lacks equivalents in .net and c#.

So I do understand the pain.

Or trying to fix bugs in an old perl script. (I don’t know perl either)

@incognito I know I know but I want to keep it as native as possible and the python application is a web listener ;)

@incognito Okay nevermind, this is starting to look like an actually good option .____.

@linuxxx What about Swig? Can that help? It’s not pretty but it’ll give you something to work with?

Full disclosure: my only experience with Swig is watching it do stuff in a Docker build (by which I mean convert a C++ library to PHP)

@incognito Oh this isn't much about my skillset, I'm just entirely unfamiliar with this topic so it'll be a while until I learn enough to natively convert this I fear :)

@Voxera I know it's not related to this rant but can you look at my last post (question), maybe you can help me. Please 🙏

@incognito The native conversion is actually going way better than I thought!

Pray you don't need some library the python code uses that is only available in python. I ran into that problem going from python to C++. lxml and Construct are both awesome libraries. Have not found replacements that are as simple and good.

@Demolishun I don't think so yet but I'm stuck somehwere now where I simply have no clue as for how to convert that to PHP because I'm not even sure what it does in python...

@linuxxx shell_exec()

You get all the output from the python script in case you need to parse it.

@Evonox7 if it the one about moching in go I am sorry, while I can read and mostly understand go code I have never written any.

I have tried to port the raft server example from go to c# but gave up and wrote it from scratch as there was so many threading issues that just cannot easily be dine in c#.

Dude you can so learn Python in a sitdown if you want to. You're a smart dude.

I am assuming the application is not necessarily web related?

Or you could just keep it in Python and code as you're used to?
