    MATLAB provides a flexible integration with Python, allowing you to call MATLAB functions from Python and vice versa. This integration is facilitated by the MATLAB Engine API for Python, which enables you to execute MATLAB commands within your Python environment without starting a desktop session of MATLAB.

    Calling MATLAB from Python

    To call MATLAB functions from Python, you need to install the MATLAB Engine API for Python. This can be done using the following command:

    $ python -m pip install matlabengine==24.2.1

    Once installed, you can start a MATLAB session and call MATLAB functions as shown in the example below:

    import matlab.engine

    # Start MATLAB engine
    eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()

    # Call MATLAB functions
    result = eng.sqrt(4.0)
    print(result) # Output: 2.0

    # Stop MATLAB engine
    eng.quit()

    This allows you to leverage MATLAB's computational capabilities directly from your Python code.

    Calling Python from MATLAB

    MATLAB also allows you to call Python functions and libraries directly from within MATLAB. This can be useful when you want to use Python libraries or functions without switching your programming environment. For example:

    How do I connect to a MATLAB session from Python?
    Call a MATLAB function from Python. You can connect to multiple shared MATLAB sessions from Python. Start a second MATLAB session. From MATLAB call matlab.engine.shareEngine. Give a name to the second shared session. The name must be a valid MATLAB variable name. For information on valid variable names, see Variable Names.
