Python from C# examples & documentation #2119

Hello. So, cutting to the chase, are there any code examples in C# and/or thorough documentation explaining how all this works? All I've seen are uselessly simple examples. I've spent the past hour trying to simply load a .py script, and execute a function defined in that script. I pass in a string, I want to get a string back. I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but no luck.

What is the difference between Py.Import(somePath) and PythonEngine.Compile(somePath) ? Searching for examples online, I see people switching between these two approaches as a way to execute a python script file.

In many examples using Py.Import() I see something like this Py.Import(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullPath)). GetFileNameWithoutExtension() reduces the full path to just the basic name of the file. How is that functional? It can't possibly find the correct script file.

TLDR, can anybody point me to a straight forward example of how to execute a function in a script?

Thanks!
