Unable to load DLL 'libSkiaSharp' - Python wrapper based Web API

[MohanaselvamJ]

Description

We are creating python wrapper based Web API to call C# method via python. While using SkiaSharp related code, we facing errors even loaded the SkiaSharp dlls in python.

Target: .NET Standard 2.0
Python version : 3.9

Any workaround also helpful.

Code

Python:

import clr #import clr from pythonnet
import os

#Get the DLL and input file path in string
dll_path = r'D:\\Python\Python\.NET Standard Wrapper Library\SkiaSharpApp\SkiaSharpApp\bin\Debug\netstandard2.0\SkiaSharpApp.dll'
harbuzzSharp_dll= r'C:\Users\Admin\.nuget\packages\harfbuzzsharp\7.3.0.2\lib\netstandard2.0\HarfBuzzSharp.dll'
skiasharpHarfbuzz_dll= r'C:\Users\ Admin \.nuget\packages\skiasharp.harfbuzz\2.88.8\lib\netstandard2.0\SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz.dll'
skiasharp_dll= r'C:\Users\ Admin \.nuget\packages\skiasharp\2.88.8\lib\netstandard2.0\SkiaSharp.dll'

#Verify the path
if dll_path not in os.sys.path:     
    os.sys.path.append(dll_path)
    os.sys.path.append(harbuzzSharp_dll)
    os.sys.path.append(skiasharpHarfbuzz_dll)
    os.sys.path.append(skiasharp_dll)
    print("Checking path")

#load our dll file(mine is in my C:// folder)
try: 
    clr.AddReference(dll_path)
    clr.AddReference(harbuzzSharp_dll)
    clr.AddReference(skiasharpHarfbuzz_dll)
    clr.AddReference(skiasharp_dll)
    print ("Load success")
except Exception as e:
    print("Fail to load")

from SKiaSharpApp import Test

test = Test() #create  object

print("Open and Save status: "+str(test.SkiaSharpSample()))

C#:

using SkiaSharp;
using System.IO;

namespace SKiaSharpApp
{
    public class Test
    {

        public string SkiaSharpSample()
        {
            //Define the image dimensions
            int width = 800;
            int height = 600;
            string base64String;

            //Create a new bitmap
            using (var bitmap = new SKBitmap(width, height))
            {
                // Create a canvas to draw on the bitmap
                using (var canvas = new SKCanvas(bitmap))
                {
                    // Clear the canvas with a white color
                    canvas.Clear(SKColors.White);

                    // Define the paint for drawing shapes
                    var paint = new SKPaint
                    {
                        Color = SKColors.Blue,
                        IsAntialias = true,
                        Style = SKPaintStyle.Stroke,
                        StrokeWidth = 5
                    };

                    // Draw a rectangle
                    var rect = new SKRect(100, 100, 300, 300);
                    canvas.DrawRect(rect, paint);

                    // Draw a circle
                    paint.Color = SKColors.Red;
                    canvas.DrawCircle(400, 400, 100, paint);

                    // Draw a line
                    paint.Color = SKColors.Green;
                    canvas.DrawLine(500, 100, 700, 300, paint);

                    // Save the bitmap to a file
                    using (var image = SKImage.FromBitmap(bitmap))
                    using (var data = image.Encode(SKEncodedImageFormat.Png, 100))

                    using (var memoryStream = new MemoryStream())
                    {
                        data.SaveTo(memoryStream);


                    }
                }
            }
            return "Success";
        }
    }
}

Replication steps

1. Create .NET Standard 2.0 library project and compile above C# code.
2. Create python file and use the dll path from bin folder of C# app in python.
3. Similarly edit harbuzzSharp_dll and skiasharp_dll path in python as per your .nuget folder path.
4. Run python
5. You will receive an error from SkiaSharp
