PyMat works the other way around, ie it allows for Matlab calls from Python.
Basically you need to build a Python extension which includes calls to the matlab engine (see the Python and Matlab manuals). Another way is to make a shell call Python directly via "!python -c 'myscript.py'" and possibly save the results on a file, for further processing by Matlab. If you know about Scilab (which is a free and very capable Matlab clone, www.scilab.org) you can take a look at its Matlab-equivalent perl command (ie a Matlab script that calls perl). You can use this perl command for building a python command in Matlab. Carl -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
