Adding Python project to Solution in combination with Docker error

As the titel says, I have added a Python project to my Solution. My docker-compose file can find my Dockerfile in the Python project and all of that seems to be OK.

However, when I try to launch it all, I get the following message;

Could not copy the file "C:\Projects\sample\project.Blurring\project.Blurring.exe" because it was not found.

Could not copy the file "C:\Projects\sample\project.Blurring\project.Blurring.exe" because it was not found.

How can this error even occur in a default blank project? Like I get it; the exe file is not found, but why is it not generated in the first place.

Adding my own exe file works. But why?

this might not be relevant, but what's the rationale of integrating a python project to a .NET based solution? How do you expect these 2 components to even interact? There's no interop between these like there is interop between Blazor and JS

i would say this is fairly irrelevant. a solution isn't ".net based", it can contain many types of projects.

Hmmm... but how would these interact with each other?

Like say there's a function in a python file

Bobby Bob

Bobby Bob•4/4/25, 3:28 PM

And a C# file needs to call that function

ero•4/4/25, 3:29 PM

what c# file?

Bobby Bob

Bobby Bob•4/4/25, 3:29 PM

How does that work? @ero

they made no mention of c#

Bobby Bob

B

Bobby Bob•4/4/25, 3:29 PM

Just a standard C# code

I thought "solution" implictly meant C#

far from it

a solution just collects projects that are compatible with the format

ero•4/4/25, 3:30 PM

that might be c#, py, c, c++, rs(?), js/ts

Sure there is

P/Invoke into CPython
Use something like PythonNet that does the above for you
IronPython (though that lags behind a lot)
Some sort of IPC mechanism like pipes

Or just straight up invoking one executable from another and using stdin/stdout.

I never knew that python and C++ was supported as a solution

To get back to the question; why do I need to add an .exe.exe file myself? to get it running with Docker
