Could you be more explicit about what you want to do - do you want to
call a python script from within a matlab shell?

Note that python offers many tools which enable you to *replace*
matlab with python. See

Numeric - array package with many matlab element wise operations and
functions - http://numpy.sourceforge.net/

numarray - the same but with enhanced indexing, better support for
large arrays and
more. http://www.stsci.edu/resources/software_hardware/numarray

matplotlib - 2D plotting with matlab syntax -
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/

scipy - a vast collection of numeric tools, including support for
loading and saving mat files - http://www.scipy.org

and much more....

ok so is there a thing I can download that will do the symbolic stuff
that matlab can do?

To my knowledge, this is the only free competitor to Mathematica and Maple
(btw, matlab has no symbolic capabilities of its own, it just licenses the
Maple engine).
