I am working on an application that requires me to interface a python script running on linux OS on a virtual machine with a .net c# application having wpf forms running on windows such that that the c# application sends files to the python script for processing. What are my options in light of this setting?

I tried using monodevelop on linux in an effort to run .NET applications but it didn't work out as monodevelop doesn't support wpf forms.

Use sockets to send the file bytes and the result between them.

Some documentation here:

C# Sockets

Python Sockets

EDIT: This should work using virtual machines

If you have network connection between machines (local network, host only or Internet) then you could listen for files on python using:

  1. UDP
  2. TCP
  3. SimpleHTTPServer

Then in C# app use:

  1. UDPClient
  2. TCPClient
  3. WebClient

That was my initial guess to establish client-server communication between the two scripts but would this method work for a virtual machine?
No problem, just setup a network. What kind of virtual machine do you have?
I don't have much experience with workstation, but you can refer to documentation and setup a virtual network. Host-Only Networking should be the simplest choice, but if you want Internet connection from guest OS, then try bridged.
