Passing values from c# window form to python script

Question

Hello programmers of SO,

I am making a C# interface for a socketing,

The interface is made with C# but the code ressponsable for the actual socketing part is written in Python because writing that in C# Would be insanity,

i used some ironPython to execute the python code:

  var engine = Python.CreateEngine();

  engine.ExecuteFile(""); //directory is inside the quotes

but i need to pass some values (IP and all that jazz)

anyone know how?

I looked at How do I pass arguments to a Python script with IronPython and it would be too hard to implement so dont ask if that thread answers my question please

You could store the data as a string in some file in c sharp, and you could have a thread in python constantly looking for the information. It would know when the information has been stored in the file if a certain keyword is passed along with it. For example (if you were using a textfile with a location called location)

File.WriteAllText(location, IPAdress + "[IP]");

and here is the code for searching for it

foreach(string datainfo in File.ReadAllText(location).Split(Convert.ToChar("\n"))     
{
    if(datainfo.Contains("[IP]")
        datainfo.Replace("[IP]","");
    string Ip = datainfo; 
}

I don't know how to deal with files in python but the python equivalent of the csharp code above should work.
