calling matlab

[Mohammed Smadi]

Hi;

Does anyone know if we can call matlab for a python or bash script while
feeding the matlab script some command line arguments? I have an
interactive matlab script which i want to automate by feeding the args
from a script.

I know this is probably more suitable to a matlab group but any ideas will
be appreciated.

thanks

There is a module named pymat avvailable from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pymat that provides a limited set of
functions for intertfacing Python to Matlab. The functions are:
open for opening a Matlab session
close for closing a Matlab session
eval for evaluating a Matlab command
put for sending a matrix to Matlab
get for getting a matrix from Matlab

Mohammed, you might want to look at this module to see if it has the
functionality you need.

Mohammed -

I worked through this a while back, and posted my solution at
http://www.geocities.com/ptmcg/python/using_matlab_from_python.html.

Best of luck,

I think that pymat was superceded by mlabwrap
