How to run Matlab from python to run an m.file in a specific folder?

Hi All

there is a tutorial on how to run matlab from python , but it does not say how to run an .m file from a specific folder, I mean that after starting matlab engine, how to tell matlab from python to start from a specific folder ?

[Bob Thompson]

I do not know how to run matlab through python, but I do know that in Matlab you set which folder you want to run in by selecting the 'Current Folder', and you can change that by using the cd command in the command window.

Not sure if that is going to help at all.

Hi Farzad,

Kindly refer to the following MATLAB documentation for starting MATLAB from python by importing "matlab.engine".
