title: Calling MATLAB .m-files and functions in Python script
body: <p>I have a platform for python scripting, and I would like to call matlab functions inside. I have found several threads tackling the issue, among them those two</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2255942/how-do-i-interact-with-matlab-from-python">How do I interact with MATLAB from Python?</a></p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9675386/running-m-files-from-python?rq=1">Running m-files from Python</a></p>
  
  <p>However, threads are either not recent, or not very detailed.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>is mlabwrap reliable?</li>
  <li>what would you advocate as a solution to call matlab functions / .m files in python script? </li>
  <li>using win32com from python to call a matlab session --> is this a good idea ? could you point to more doc or examples on this topic?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>looks like link to sourceForge is not up to date, last update 2010,</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlabwrap/" rel="noreferrer">http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlabwrap/</a></p>
