How to call matlab from python?

I have one code of matlab from which some results I want to export directly to python. How I can call matlab from python to use that specific results?

I think you mean you want to call a MATLAB function from Python?

• This page has specific instructions: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/call-matlab-functions-from-python.html
• This higher level page has instructions for installation and getting started: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab-engine-for-python.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav

Alternatively, if you want to export results from MATLAB to a file that you can read in Python, there are lots of options for file formats depending on the data. if you have neatly organized matrix data, you might consider using writematrix to make a comma delimited file and csv.py to read it. Or if you have something more complicated, maybe h5write to write make an hdf5 file and h5py to read it.

@Dave B actually i have code that gives some result which i want to use in python. i dont want to open matlab, run that code, find the result, export that result in some file format to python.

i want to do it like that if somehow i can say python that you call matlab to run that matlab code and results which is generated by that matlab code automatically export to the python.

do you have any idea, how can i do that?

@M bd Please have a look at the links above, they are describing how to do exactly what you're asking. The first link shows python code to return the output of a MATLAB function, but you'll probably have to work out the setup/installation as described in the second link.
