I have followed this tutorial and it is working fine in my .Net App: /@hanxuyang0826/triggering-python-code-from-c-a-practical-guide-84b17d593dc6

However, when I replace the tutorial code in MyAppPython.py

class Calculator:
    def AddInPython(self, a, b):
        return a + b

with some python code from OpenAI:

from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()

response = client.chatpletions.create(
    model="gpt-4o-mini",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "text", "text": "What's in this image?"},
                {
                    "type": "image_url",
                    "image_url": {
                        "url": ".jpg/2560px-Gfp-wisconsin-madison-the-nature-boardwalk.jpg",
                    },
                },
            ],
        }
    ],
    max_tokens=300,
)

print(response.choices[0])

I cant get it working.

This is my C# code after updating to try and trigger the Python file after I pasted in the OpenAI code:

using IronPython.Hosting;
using Microsoft.Scripting.Hosting;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace MyApp.Areas.FunctionalLogic
{
    public class IronPythonExample
    {
        public void ExecutePythonCode()
        {
            Debug.WriteLine("*****ExecutePythonCode*****");

            // Create the IronPython scripting engine
            ScriptEngine engine = Python.CreateEngine();

            // Add the directory containing the Python file to the search paths
            ICollection<string> searchPaths = engine.GetSearchPaths();
            searchPaths.Add("../MyAppPython");
            engine.SetSearchPaths(searchPaths);

            Debug.WriteLine("*****searchPath Set:" + searchPaths.ToString());

            // Import the Python file
            dynamic visionModule = engine.ImportModule("MyAppPython");

            Debug.WriteLine("*****Python file imported*****");

            // Create an instance of the Vision class
            dynamic vision = visionModule();

            Debug.WriteLine("*****Instance Created*****");

            // Call the MyAppPython method
            vision();

        }
    }
}

It seems to be ok down as far as here, then throws an exception:

Debug.WriteLine("*****searchPath Set:" + searchPaths.ToString());

.

Exception thrown: 'IronPython.Runtime.Exceptions.ImportException' in Microsoft.Dynamic.dll

I think its something to do with my updated python file no longer being structured correctly as a Class and/or not being called correctly from my C# method, but I'm not very experienced with Python and this is my first ever attempt at using python inside a .Net app. I have been going in circles with this trying different variations. Does anyone have any suggestions?
