ans = "hello"

This is exactly it. Do you want to put it as an answer so I can accept it as that?

For generic conversion of Python variables to MATLAB variables, try py2mat.m, and for the reverse (Python to MATLAB), mat2py.m.

These MATLAB items are supported: strings, char arrays, cell arrays, dense matrices, sparse matrices, datetimes. On the Python side: dicts, lists, sets, tuples, NumPy arrays, SciPy sparse arrays, datetimes.
