Can we use python code in matlab?

Yes, that happens to me too.

If I try to run this, I get a similar message:

[status,result] = system('python test.py');

Almost certainly, if you fired up a command prompt and ran "python rat.py", you'd get the same response.... because your path doesn't have your python app in it.

SOLUTION:

1) Find out where it's installed.

For example, on my system, python.exe is installed here:

c:\apps\anaconda3\python.exe

2) So just modify your system call and add the full path, like this:

[status,result] = system('c:\apps\anaconda3\python test.py');

This worked for me

In general terms, you can almost always solve this by opening a system command prompt and find out exactly what you have to enter at the command prompt to get everything running. That's effectively what happens when you make a system call.

If you require multiple OS commands to run at the command prompt (changing dirs, etc), then put them all into 1 batch file (.bat) and execute the batch file.

py.list({'This','is a','list'})      % Call built-in function list
py.textwrap.wrap('This is a string') % Call wrap function in module textwrap

>>> l = ['A', 'new', 'list']

myList = pyrun("l = ['A', 'new', 'list']", "l");

# Python script file mklist.py: 
s = 'list'
L = ['A', 'new', s]

myListFile = pyrunfile("mklist.py", "L")

myListFile = 
  Python list with no properties.

    ['A', 'new', 'list']

terminate(pyenv)
pyenv("ExecutionMode","OutOfProcess")

Directly call Python® functionality from MATLAB®

You can access Python libraries directly from MATLAB by adding the py. prefix to the Python name. See Access Python Modules from MATLAB - Getting Started. For example:

py.list({'This','is a','list'})      % Call built-in function list
py.textwrap.wrap('This is a string') % Call wrap function in module textwrap

You can execute Python statements in the Python interpreter directly from MATLAB using the pyrun or pyrunfile functions. For example:

pyrun("l = ['A','new','list']")  % Call list in Python interpreter

If instead you want to call MATLAB functions from Python applications, see Call MATLAB from Python for more information.
