I try to use python once on Unity and I found a few ways:
- There is a package call "IronPython" where you can add a python file to your unity project and then call a function from C# to your python code, to do that you should follow this:
We already know that we can use python to use .net internal calls. Now we may use the same to start a console that can accept a scripting language in Unity engine. To do this we have to include certain dll files. These dll files must be present in Assets>plugins
IronPython.dll
IronPython.Modules.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.Core.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.Debugging.dll
Microsoft.Scripting.ExtensionAttribute.dll
Microsoft.Dynamic.dll
Once the Plugins are in place.
Initiate the Cs code
PythonEngine engine = new PythonEngine();
engine.LoadAssembly(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(GameObject)));
engine.ExecuteFile("Test.py");
Where test.py is the python code.
Initiate python side:
import UnityEngine from UnityEngine
import *
Debug.Log("Hello world from IronPython!")

the issue with this way is that most of the python module are not supported.
2.the second way is to create a file like json that contain the data you want to send to the json and then create an output json that send the output from the python script, this way is very limited with what you can send because the data must be contain in your json.
- the last way that work for me is to install the Nuget package and copy the script from python to c# line by line with the relevent module installed in Unity and it's work for me, but copy a long code can take time. this is a reference to the package: https://github.com/GlitchEnzo/NuGetForUnity and then to install the relevent package you should press on NuGet → Manage NuGet Packages and the choose the relevent package(for me it was Numpy and it work grate).
hope it will help you
Answer from Noam Riahi on Stack OverflowI began to learn Python a few weeks ago because I was told it's the simplest language to learn. Am I able to use Python in Unity or Unreal or am I wasting my time learning Python? If so, what would be a better language to learn instead?

We are thrilled to announce that Python for Unity 4.0.0-exp.5 is now available!
4.0.0-exp.5 is a major upgrade from our last public release, and incorporates a large number of changes. In summary: Based on Python 3.7; scripts based on Python 2.7 will need to be ported. Users no longer need to install Python on their system. In-process Python is no longer reinitialized when the Unity domain reloads. Removed the out-of-process API. The PySide example now runs in-process and is much simpler. Limited support for a virtual environment workflow via the ProjectSettings/requirements.txt file. Many bug fixes. Documentation for the Python for Unity package is available here, and the full changelog can be found here.
This is an experimental release, and thus is not visible in Package Manager. To install this package, open Package Manager, click the + at the top left and select Add package by name.... Enter com.unity.scripting.python as the name and and 4.0.0-exp.5 as the version and click Add. Alternatively, you may edit Packages/manifest.json and add "com.unity.scripting.python": "4.0.0-exp.5", to the list of dependencies, or edit the existing entry for Python for Unity to update the version.

Hello everyone. I would like to learn how to develop video games for fun, learning and possibly for a gift. In particular, I'm interested in developing 2D video games. But I have a problem: python is the only language I know and I use it for work and one of my side goals would be to take advantage of game development to be able to practice in python and learn new things. However, I am afraid that development in python is more complicated and even if I have seen that there are engines that support python, they seem less efficient and comfortable than other engines such as unity, or in any case they are less used and therefore there are fewer resources to learn. So I fear that developing in python could lead to worse results with more effort and more time, ruining the experience overall. What do you recommend?
