A common way to connect Python and MATLAB is by using the MATLAB Engine interface.

  1. Firstly, make sure that MATLAB is installed and its path has been added to the system’s environment variables.
  2. To install the MATLAB Engine API in Python, you can use the following command.
  3. install MATLAB using pip
  4. In Python, import the MATLAB Engine module.
  5. Use the MATLAB engine.
  6. Start the MATLAB engine using the following command:
  7. Start MATLAB engine using Python.
  8. Now, you can use the eng object to call MATLAB functions and scripts. For example:
  9. result = math.sqrt(4.0)
    print(result)
  10. After finishing using the MATLAB engine, you can use the following command to shut down the engine:
  11. Exit the program.

In this way, MATLAB functions and scripts can be used in Python.
