Installation

Pick a package

Reference Computerwelt when you want python available as a shell command over the same filesystem the shell sees. Reference one of the halves when you only need that half; the joined package brings both in as dependencies.

dotnet add package Computerwelt

<PackageReference Include="Computerwelt" Version="26.8.4528" />

Install-Package Computerwelt

Requirements

Verify it

using Computerwelt.Emulation.Bash;

var bash = Bash.Create();

var result = await bash.ExecAsync("echo it works");

Console.WriteLine(result.ExitCode);   // 0
Console.WriteLine(result.Stdout);     // it works

Bash.Create() builds a session with the default command set, the default limits, and an empty in-memory filesystem. Nothing on the host is reachable from it, so the first thing most applications do is give it a filesystem of their own: see The virtual filesystem.
