see this for matlab in python. but the other way is not so easy you can use subprocess module in python to call matlab and return the output.see subprocess doc. or you can do it in a more lazy way with this

Xu - how complicated is your python script? Are there many inputs and several output? An interesting solution from call python function from matlab (1) exists and it involves creating a python m-file (from the MATLAB perl.m, replacing the perl text with python. I tried it, along with their example, and it worked well. Basically it involves just creating a command string and evaluating it with the MATLAB dos or unix commands (depending upon your OS).
Or, instead of creating the python.m file, you can just try with the same with a call to system. See call python function matlab (2) If your python script squares a number (like in the linked example) then you could simply write
commandStr = 'python /Users/myName/pathToScript/sqr.py 2';
[status, commandOut] = system(commandStr);
if status==0
fprintf('squared result is %d\n',str2num(commandOut));
end
In the above, the path to the python script is explicitly defined. If the system call is successful, then status is zero, and we print out the result. Note that since the commandOut is a string, we have to convert it to a number.
For a simple example, this works very well. For a more complicated python script, it might be a little tricker.

Glad it worked out, Xu!

Hello, I have done this, but with Ubuntu and Matlab 2015a I have this problem or error, and I don't know what happen... Any ideas?
cmdout =
type 'exceptions.ImportError'> occurred: No module named expat; use SimpleXMLTreeBuilder instead in Bach789Sco.xml
Thanks in advanced.

I have a similar problem to Mario, I get the following:
ImportError: PyCapsule_Import could not import module "pyexpat"
but when I run the same script directly from bash, it works without any problems... I checked my PYTHONPATH in both and they seem the same.

Karel - you may want to show how you are calling your script (from MATLAB) and describe what version and OS you are using.

I have the same issue. Running Ubuntu 16.04 and Matlab2016a. I have ROS kinetic on the system if that is relevant.

I've noticed the following when trying to just import "pyexpat" when called from MATLAB.
>> !python -c "import pyexpat; print pyexpat.__file__"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so: undefined symbol: XML_SetHashSalt
>>
By looking at the output from "ldd" called both in MATLAB and outside of MATLAB (command line),
>> !ldd /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so % inside MATLAB
$ ldd /usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so
I noticed that some of the libraries, such as libexpat.so.1, are resolving to versions shipped with MATLAB when in MATLAB. It seems to work when I use LD_PRELOAD to preload the system version of libexpat.so.1.
>> !LD_PRELOAD=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexpat.so.1 python -c "import pyexpat; print pyexpat.__file__"
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload/pyexpat.so

Hallo,
Thanks for the input Geoff. Is there a way to integrate MATLAB with Tensorflow libraries.

Kartik - I'm not sure how to integrate MATLAB with Tensorflow libraries. Others have posted the same (see https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/314283-how-can-i-use-tensorflow-library-from-matlab-environment) but without any response. Perhaps contact the authors of TensorFlow?

As of MATLAB R2014b there exists bi-directional support for directly interfacing MATLAB and Python.

Sarah - could you describe what exactly this means, or provide a reference/link that provides more details (with examples)?

The interface works quite well, but if I use it in a loop it gets stuck after ~3800 calls ... does any one know why, and if there is a solution for that?

HI,
I haven't tried this, but one approach I have seen is to embed a Python interpreter in C, and then to call this as a mex file. There are a few examples around (e.g. here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1700628/embed-python-in-matlab-mex-file-on-os-x).... There are other examples around if you google for them also.
