The MATLAB® Engine API for Python® provides a Python package
named matlab that enables you to call MATLAB functions
from Python. You install the package once, and then you can call
the engine in your current or future Python sessions. For help
on installing or starting the engine, refer to:
The matlab package contains the following:
The MATLAB Engine API for Python
A set of MATLAB array classes in Python (see MATLAB Arrays as Python Variables)
The engine provides functions to call MATLAB, and the array
classes provide functions to create MATLAB arrays as Python objects.
You can create an engine and call MATLAB functions with matlab.engine.
You can create MATLAB arrays in Python by calling constructors
of an array type (for example, matlab.double to
create an array of doubles). MATLAB arrays can be input arguments
to MATLAB functions called with the engine.
The table shows the structure of the matlab package.
