Matlab Engine for Python error (Linux)

Hello,

I am using Matlab 2014b installed on Ubuntu 14.04.

I successfully open a Matlab session from python using the function "matlab.engine.start_matlab()".

However, I get an Attribute Error when I am calling "matlab.engine.find_matlab()" or "matlab.engine.connect_matlab()". It seems these functions don't exist at all.

After examining the sourcecode of the Class "MatlabEngine", I cannot find these functions, that I would like to use.

Have you excluded any code for the Linux version, perhaps?

Thank you for your time.

matlab.engine.find_matlab is introduced in R2015b. Please see the end of this document:
