i'm getting this. what might be my problem?

[kangpyo]

I have been trying to implement this code. I have installed Matlab 2019b which was downgrade to Matlab 2020a due to compatibility of MATLAB engine API. I have installed python 3.9 and pycharm. the environment set to MATLAB home. but I'm still receiving the error message.

I deleted the package in Julia and reinstalled again. i added "sys.path.append("matlab19bPy36")" and still get the same error message.

what might be my problem? can you help me?

Hm. That looks like the “matlab” package isn’t installed in Python. I thought I had it set up so it would do that automatically, but looks like that’s not the case.

I’m not at a computer right now to try it, but you can try

using Conda

Conda.add(“matlab”)

Or if that doesn’t work, try

Conda.pip(“install”, “matlab”)

I’ll try to get the automated setup working within the next couple of days though.

it shows this error julia> Conda.add(matlab) ERROR: UndefVarError: matlab not defined Stacktrace: [1] top-level scope at none:1

julia> Conda.pip(“install”, “matlab”) ERROR: syntax: invalid character "“" near column 11

in my computer, python seems okay as it doesn't show any error to "import matlab" it happened to Julia.

I think I found what causes this problem.

the code in the shearedmatlabengine

function init() py""" import matlab.engine import numpy as np """ end

might need to be fixed like this? function init() space here-> py""" space here-> import matlab.engine space here-> import numpy as np """ end

That shouldn't make a difference, Julia isn't whitespace sensitive. That part is unindented to get around a bug in the Julia syntax highlighter that causes it to highlight everything after an indented string macro call as part of that string

So I think I might have a path forward. Not sure how I'm going to automate this, but this should at least work for you.

In Julia:

julia> ENV["PYTHONPATH"]

copy the path (with the string quotes)

in MATLAB:

>> cd (fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','engines','python'))

>> py = fullfile([paste the path here], "python.exe")

>> system(py + " setup.py install")

and that should be enough to get it working. I hope. I just tried this out on my other computer and it worked.
