matlab_wrapper

With matlab_wrapper you can easily talk to MATLAB from your Python scripts and an interactive shell. MATLAB session is started in the background and appears as a regular Python object.

Info: matlab_wrapper is maintained, but not actively developed.

Usage

Initialize::

import matlab_wrapper matlab = matlab_wrapper.MatlabSession()

Low level::

matlab.put('a', 12.3) matlab.eval('b = a * 2') b = matlab.get('b')

Workspace::

s = matlab.workspace.sin([0.1, 0.2, 0.3])

sorted,idx = matlab.workspace.sort([3,1,2], nout=2)

matlab.workspace.a = 12.3 b = matlab.workspace.b
