Passing variables from MATLAB to Python

As part of a MATLAB programme I am writing, I utilise a python script. I would like to allow the user to configure parameters in MATLAB for use in that python script.

I have been completely unable to figure out how to send MATLAB variables to python, or rather, how to pull MATLAB variables in a python script. I have a variable x in MATLAB that I wish to use in python.

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()

The above code works but any step I have tried beyond that has not worked.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You might use shared MATLAB session (document link).

Run this code in MATLAB.

matlab.engine.shareEngine

Then get a variable from workspace in Python code.

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.connect_matlab()
x = eng.workspace['x']
