How to establish fast communication between C# and python apps?

Question

I'm currently hosting a cnn neural network using tensorflow (a python app), now I want the 'frontend' to be made in .NET, the issue is, how do I integrate the neural network app (made in python, tensorflow) with the .NET gui app?

I thought about gRPC & REST however, those options seem slow & not perfect for what I intend (I will submit a lot of images to the neural network in a very short time) so spamming REST requests & gRPC isn't that great

Basically, is there an easy and fast way to communicate between python and .NET (C#)?

Answer 1

You can host Python in .NET process using Python.NET (I am a co-maintainer).

I also develop a commercial TensorFlow binding for .NET: Gradient . If you care about performance, it is about 20% faster (at least for training) than TensorFlow.NET , that ships with ML.NET.
