Hi
I am on Ubuntu 16.05 running either python 2.7 or 3.5.
I had matlab 2018b installed, and used the python engine to run matlab
commands from org file in a fast way.
I did, after installing the corresponding python3 modules, in the matlab
installation directory
sudo -H python3 setup.py install
I started the engine via
/usr/bin/python3
in the python prompt:
import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
And for org I used
(add-to-list 'org-src-lang-modes '("matlab" . matlab))
(setq python-shell-interpreter "python3")
;; set default headers for convenience
(setq org-babel-default-header-args:matlab
'((:results . "output replace")
(:session . "matlab")
(:kernel . "matlab")
(:exports . "code")
(:cache . "no")
(:noweb . "no")
(:hlines . "no")
(:tangle . "no")))
(defalias 'org-babel-execute:matlab 'org-babel-execute:ipython)
(defalias 'org-babel-prep-session:matlab 'org-babel-prep-session:ipython)
(defalias 'org-babel-matlab-initiate-session
'org-babel-ipython-initiate-session)
Worked like charm
However I had to upgrade to 2019b
then the installation via python 3.5 failed
OSError: MATLAB Engine for Python supports Python version 2.7, 3.6, and 3.7,
but your version of Python is 3.5
So I used 2.7 and changed the org setting accordingly.
However when I tried to execute matlab code, emacs run forever and
nothing happened.
Did anybody got this to work with python2.7?
Thanks
