How to call Python Script in Matlab

Hi,

I want to call python script into Matlab for further processing. I watched couple of threads mentioned at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1707780/call-python-function-from-matlab but always gets an error when do this in command prompt

>> py.ReadIFSLog

Unable to resolve the name py.ReadIFSLog

I have MATLAB 2020a. What am I doing wrong?

I understand that you are trying to call your own python script from MATLAB command window.

The syntax that you are using is for calling python built-in modules from MATLAB, not scripts. Please have a look at the answer posted for a similar question.

It works when I change the perl.m file to python.m and then call the script.

A new issue.

Python function returns 22 variables which are array. How to get those variable in the workspace?

Update: Looks like I cannot call a function which call another function. I think its better to save the output file in python as .mat and then just use the output from it.
