done

Class: matlab.engine.FutureResult
Namespace: matlab.engine

Completion status of asynchronous call to MATLAB function from Python

Syntax

tf = FutureResult.done()


Description

tf = FutureResult.done() returns the completion status of a MATLAB^® function called asynchronously from Python^®. FutureResult.done returns True if the function has finished, and False if it has not finished.

Output Arguments

tf — Completion status of asynchronous function call

True | False

Completion status of an asynchronous function call, returned as either True or False.

Examples

Check If Asynchronous Call Finished

Call the MATLAB sqrt function with background=True. Check the status of ret to learn if sqrt is finished.

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
ret = eng.sqrt(4.0,background=True)
tf = ret.done()
print(tf)

True

When ret.done() returns True, then you can call ret.result() to return the square root.
