CSnakes is a .NET source generator and runtime library for embedding Python code and libraries directly into C# .NET applications via the CPython C-API. It generates strongly-typed C# wrappers from Python type hints, enabling fast in-process interop without REST or microservices.

Use cases

• call python code from c#
• embed python in a .net application
• use python libraries like numpy from c#
• interop between dotnet and python without http
• generate c# bindings from python type hints
• run python machine learning models inside a .net app

When to choose

• you need high-performance, in-process Python/.NET interop without network overhead
• you want strongly-typed C# method signatures generated from Python type annotations
• you need to use Python packages with C extensions (like NumPy) from .NET

When to avoid

• you need to call .NET code from Python rather than the other way around
• you want a language-agnostic RPC or microservice boundary between Python and .NET
• your Python code must run in a separate process for isolation or stability
