To run a MATLAB function from Python without importing the package, you can use the subprocess module in Python. The subprocess module allows you to run shell commands, including commands to run a MATLAB function using the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR).
Here's an example of how you can use the subprocess module to run a MATLAB function that takes three arguments and saves a text file:
import subprocess
def run_matlab_function(arg1, arg2, arg3):
command = "path/to/MCR/v90/bin/glnxa64/MATLAB -r 'run_my_function(" + str(arg1) + "," + str(arg2) + "," + str(arg3) + ");exit'"
subprocess.call(command, shell=True)
run_matlab_function(1, 2, 3)
In this example, the function run_matlab_function takes three arguments and creates a shell command to run the MATLAB function run_my_function with the specified arguments. The command uses the MCR binary and runs the function in the MATLAB environment. The subprocess.call function is used to run the shell command. The shell=True argument specifies that the command is a shell command.
