Running m-files from Python

Question

pymat doesnt seem to work with current versions of matlab, so I was wondering if there is another equivalent out there (I havent been able to find one). The gist of what would be desirable is running an m-file from python (2.6). (and alternatives such as scipy dont fit since I dont think they can run everything from the m-file).

Thanks in advance!

There's mlabwrap. Have you looked at this? I used this several years ago, but not recently.

You can always start matlab as separate subprocess and collect results via std.out/files. (see subprocess package).

On Windows you do this:

>>> import win32com.client
>>> h = win32com.client.Dispatch('matlab.application')

I think that the most comprehensive Python packages to call MATLAB functions are:

mlabwrap
matlab_wrapper (pure Python, no need to compile anything)

Disclaimer: I'm the developer of matlab_wrapper.
