'python' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Hi everyone,

I am getting the above problem when I am running the python scripts in matlab. I have referred some of the previous asked questions on the above topic, however none of it actually worked for me. I tried using system('python program_name.py'), also tried with the inbuilt program converting perl.m to python.m by replacing the the keyword perl to python yet got no results. So, I request you to help me out with this issue.

Thanks in advance

You would not use python as the command; you would create objects from the py package.

You might need to install Python since you are using windows; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/call-python-from-matlab.html
