title: Trying to call Python script in C#
body: <p>I'm making a mini Python IDE for fun. Why not. So I want to be able to call a python script from C# and right now I'm just testing a simple scenario. I know this is NOT how professional IDE's probably work.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    private void Run_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          run_cmd("C:/Python34/python.exe", "C:/Users/Alaseel/Desktop/test.py");
      }
  
      private void About_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
          // Open the about documentation
      }
  
      private void run_cmd(string cmd, string args)
      {
          ProcessStartInfo start = new ProcessStartInfo();
          start.FileName = "C:/Python34/python.exe";
          start.Arguments = string.Format("{0} {1}", cmd, args);
          start.UseShellExecute = false;
          start.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
          using (Process process = Process.Start(start))
          {
              using (StreamReader reader = process.StandardOutput)
              {
                  string result = reader.ReadToEnd();
                  Console.Write(result);
              }
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Whenever I click the "run" button on the Windows Form app, it briefly runs the python.exe then closes. It does not actually run the file that I passed in. Am I doing something wrong?</p>
  
  <p>PS: The run_cmd method is NOT mine. I looked up this issue previously on a thread and used their code. But I think I'm using the method wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas? Thank you!</p>
