A simple python script testmodel.py which is written response=raw_input(), but It can not be called successfully in Matlab

One simple test python script:

testmodel.py:

response=raw_input()

Then in Matlab i want to call this script, I just type py.testmodel.response to get the value of response.But It finally goes wrong and returns the Error Undefined variable 'py' or class py.testmodel.response.

So I want to know how to correct the script. Is there any method can correct it? Thank you !!!!

Which MATLAB version are you using? And which operating system?

There are two parts to my answer:

1) When you see the error "Undefined variable 'py' or class 'py.testmodel.response'", call the Python function import_module() to get a more detailed error message.

>> py.importlib.import_module('testmodel')

2) I believe the error will say, "EOFError: EOF when reading a line." py.input and py.raw_input (version 2.7) are listed in the limitations to Python support .

I see the following when I try to use raw_import:

>> response = py.raw_input
Python Error: EOFError: EOF when reading a line
