MATLAB: MATLAB 2016b and Python 3.7

MATLABmatlab 2016bpython 3.7

Hello,

the documentation says: To call Python libraries from MATLAB, you need to install a supported version of the reference implementation (CPython) for Python. MATLAB 2016b supports Python 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 (as defined here https://www.mathworks.com/content/dam/mathworks/mathworks-dot-com/support/sysreq/files/python-support.pdf).

However, is it possible to call Python functions written in Python 3.7 from MATLAB 2016b? From the first tests, it seems to work…

Best Answer

In R2016b, MATLAB doesn't support Python version 3.7 . This is available in R2019a. So, function from Python 3.7 may or may not be work (Function which presents in the previous release will work but the new one might not work).

MATLAB: What version of python is supported by r2017a

The online documentation is for the current release of MATLAB (which is currently release R2018a) and as such may describe functionality not available to you if you're using an older release.

According to the Release Notes support for Python 3.6 was introduced in release R2017b. In release R2017a, Python 3.4 and 3.5 are supported.

MATLAB: MATLAB Engine API for Python 3.7

I found the solution on another site:

Matlab kernel also should be install.

pip install matlab_kernel

Then in file /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/matlab/engine/__init__.py comment raise EnvironmentError("Python %s is not supported." % _version) and add _PYTHONVERSION = 3_6. In result:

if _version in _supported_versions: 
    _PYTHONVERSION = _version 
else: 
    _PYTHONVERSION = '3_6' 
    #raise EnvironmentError("Python %s is not supported." % _version)
