I forgot to add it doesn't happen if Py_Finalize isn't called - if I take that out and just let the OS/matlab unload the mex function then I can run it many times without the error, but it does leak a bit of memory each time. Cheers Robin On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 5:23 PM, Robin wrote: > Hi, > >

Hi, I'm trying to embed Python in a MATLAB mex file. I've been coming under some pressure to make my Python code available to my MATLAB colleagues so I am trying to come up with a relatively general way of calling numerical python code from Matlab. I am making some progress - but get a reliable c
