I believe you would want to utilize the matlab engine. If you are just trying to get the data in a format that you can then call a matlab function there are examples in the above link that should help you out.
You could possibly try sharing the session and maybe then variables in python would appear in the matlab workspace, but I have not tried this before.
In particular, make sure that you call the installation script with the version of Python you intend to use and that your Python path is updated accordingly.
