I've got a Python script that outputs a large text file of data and
I've recently made a simple GUI for it in Visual Basic (2008). While
it's simple enough to launch the Python script and pass it command
line parameters from VB using Shell(python etc), I'm wondering how to
pass information back to VB from Python. For example, it would be nice
to be able to let VB know that the Python script has finished (at the
moment I am repeatedly checking for the existence of the
aforementioned text file, and sleeping for a short while if it hasn't
appeared, which is clumsy but works).
Ideally, I would like to be able to pass parameters to Python
functions from VB and return values back to VB, just using VB for the
front end while Python does all the hard work. I know I could just use
Tkinter but is this sort of integration between Python and VB possible?
Yes, with some glue. You can turn your Python script into a COM server,
and then use the .NET COM Interop to invoke it from your VB code.
Is that more trouble than starting a process and monitoring its
results? You'll have to judge that yourself...
