So I have a Python app that has rapidly changing values in a variable, say it x. I want to be able to access the current value of that variable from a separate C# app running on the same machine. Is there a recommended (i.e. efficient) way of doing this?

What I have tried:

Both languages have built in support for sockets so that would probably be the easiest way to do it: Socket Class (System.Net.Sockets) | Microsoft Docs[^] and socket — Low-level networking interface — Python 3.10.4 documentation[^]. You could also research the use of pipes — Interface to shell pipelines — Python 3.10.4 documentation[^] and Pipe Class (System.IO.Pipelines) | Microsoft Docs[^].
