Can Python Engine call MCR instead of Matlab?

Does anyone know if the new Python engine can be pointed at the MCR instead of the native Matlab installation? I'd like to build an integrated, compiled application with Python - MCR functionality but can't figure out if that is possible yet without some additional glue.

thx, -Xander

Hi Xander,

In the R2014b release the MATLAB Engine for Python does not support the MCR though it is something we may consider for a future release. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the quick response Sarah. For those of us building standalone applications that blend Matlab and Python this would be a big win, helping to bypass a messy Python<->C<->Matlab sequence.

Is there any update regarding MATLAB Engine for Python and MCR? I couldn't find any information that any release of Matlab Engine for Python support MCR.

There is a Python client for the MATLAB Compiler SDK. On the following doc page, look at "Python Package Integration".
