I am trying to call a Python function from MATLAB, and I'm getting a permission denied error.

function [success] = run python()
%system('sudo easy_install requests');
%system('sudo easy_install PyCrypto');
system('/Users/mmk/Desktop/Folder/run.py')

success = 1;

end

The error is:

/bin/bash: /Users/mmk/Desktop/Folder/run.py: Permission denied

ans =

    1

Not sure what I should be doing in this case. Any ideas?

figured it out.

it needs to be system('python /Users/mmk/Desktop/Folder/run.py')

  • Alternatively, if your python file is executable (google chmod), and you make the first line of the file `#!/usr/bin/env python` your previous approach should have worked, too. – Tom Nov 25 '15 at 08:10
