Running a Python Script with multiple inputs and outputs through Matlab

Hallo, i have a pytho script with 10 inputs and 5 outputs and the on of the outputs is a list. I want to run this script throught matlab and give my inputs in matlab and then receive the outputs from Python in Matlab. Is that possible? I have tried some things, but i could redirect only one output from python to matlab. I am open to suggestion :)

One interesting trick is to use json. From python, serialize all the outputs into one single json string. In matlab, convert the json string back to json.

That is a very interesting idea!Is there a reason to pass from python a json string and not direct make a json file?

[Yongjian Feng]

Yes, you can do it with a json file as well. But then you need to write and read the file. Also if you write to a file, it doesn't need to be json.

Hello Constantinos,

I understand that you're trying to run python script in MATLAB and then recieve outputs from Python in MATLAB.

Along with the above answer, you can also take a look at this previously answered question: Running python script in matlab

You will find the following resources with more information and examples here:

• Calling Python from MATLAB
• MATLAB Engine for Python

Yeap, i am trying to run a python script throught Matlab, i have seen these topics. They were very useful. The only part that i need to solve is to pass my outputs with json file to matlab:)
