Controlling matlab from python

Can I make Python give orders for Matlab to run ? for example can I make Python control Matlab ?

I want Python to automatically donwload an attached matfile from an email and make Matlab run it and then get the results of code and then send back that data to the same email which it donwloaded the attached matfile.

If this can be implemented, then I can email many different matfiles for different computers and make them solve the code and send me the data

Assuming you're running windows, try using Task Sheduler. You can try using the built-in features but theres also a C++ API.
