Python for .NET is a package that gives Python programmers nearly seamless integration with the .NET Common Language Runtime (CLR) and provides a powerful application scripting tool for .NET developers.
I was trying to run unit tests, but the python initialization kept failing. I set the environment variable and restarted visual studio, but still had the same problem. I found on the Pythonnet documentation that if you set the PythonHome property in the engine it can resolve any path problems that might be occuring. I have multiple versions of python on my system.
You might be able to reproduce the issue by installing another version of python and have it be in the path. I'm not really sure though. For me I had python 3.9 as my main instance, but was trying to use 3.6.8 for pythonnet.
