Question

So I have the following problem: I have a folder at a location known from a config.py file, in my case externals/bct. Now this needs to be added to matlab’s path. Now I’ve searched for some examples to edit matlab path but from what I can see let’s say here: matlab path the changes are done from matlab. My question would then be: is there any way I could change the matlab path from python?

Best regards,
Bogdan

Thanks for the inputs. The project already has an adapter that allows runnig matlab code from python using from scipy.io import loadmat, savemat. The problem was that we are using BCT and that need to be added to matlab path dinamically at startup. The solution that worked for me was to use the method already defined to execute matlab code and just send at startup:

addpath(PATH_TO_BCT); savepath;
