Call Python from MATLAB

Call Python libraries from MATLAB using modern APIs, correct environment setup, and structured error recovery.

• Writing MATLAB code that calls Python via py.*, pyrun, or pyrunfile
• MATLAB code fails with ModuleNotFoundError, Python is not configured, or other Python-related errors
• User asks to set up Python for MATLAB or create a virtual environment
• User asks to install a Python package for use in MATLAB

When NOT to Use

• Calling MATLAB from Python (MATLAB Engine API for Python — different direction)
• Building MEX files or Python C extensions
• Pure Python development with no MATLAB involvement
• MATLAB Compiler or MATLAB Production Server deployment
