.NET Comparison

Both the Python and .NET clients expose the same API surface with idiomatic naming for their respective language.

Side-by-Side

Concept	.NET (AccordionQ2Client)	Python (AccordionQ2Client)
Lifecycle	IDisposable / using	Context manager / with
Methods	GetValueAsync(name)	get_value(name)
Concurrency	async / await	Synchronous (thread-safe)
Nullability	string?	None
Config	ChannelConfigRequest.Enabled = true	ChannelConfigRequest(enabled=True)
Enums	ChannelTypes.Analog	ChannelTypes.ANALOG
Errors	AccordionQ2ApiException	AccordionQ2ApiError
Type annotations	Full (Nullable Reference Types)	Full (PEP 484, mypy strict)
Dependencies	Newtonsoft.Json	None (stdlib only)
Install	dotnet add package AccordionQ2.WebApiClient	pip install accordionq2
Package	NuGet	PyPI

Code Examples

Python.NET (C#)

from accordionq2 import AccordionQ2Client

with AccordionQ2Client("http://raspberrypi:5000") as client:
    status = client.connection.get_status()
    voltage = client.resources.get_value("Voltage.VDD")
    print(f"Connected: {status.is_connected}, VDD: {voltage}")

using AccordionQ2.WebApiClient;

using var client = new AccordionQ2Client("http://raspberrypi:5000");
var status = await client.Connection.GetStatusAsync();
var voltage = await client.Resources.GetValueAsync("Voltage.VDD");
Console.WriteLine($"Connected: {status.IsConnected}, VDD: {voltage}");

When to Use Which

Scenario	Recommended Client
Test automation scripts	Python
Raspberry Pi / embedded Linux	Python or .NET
ASP.NET services / Azure	.NET
