Error importing matlab.engine on VS Code, Python

[Cuong Tran]

Hello,

I am using Matlab_R2023a, and I am working on a Python script that can etract the needed trained and predicted data after Matlab has finished running. On a Python 3.11.3, the line 'import matlab.engine' has an orange squiggle, and when trying to run the code, there is an error message like so:

==========================================================

(base) neurostudent@hulb0763607 rat-behavior-classifier % /usr/bin/
python3 /Users/neurostudent/rat-behavior-classifier/JaabaScoreConve
rsion/get_jaaba_predictions.py
True
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/neurostudent/rat-behavior-classifier/JaabaScoreConversion/get_jaaba_predictions.py", line 4, in <module>
    import matlab.engine, os
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'matlab'

==========================================================

I have attached a screenshot of the error and the unresolvved line of code below.

According to this, I believe the problem might be that This version of Matlab (R2023a) doesn't support my version of Python (3.11.3). Unfortunately, the nearest time I know of where I can afford to get a new license is in more than a month. Hence, I'm writing this email to ask if there might be some other problems that I haven't considered.

I eagerly await your replies.

Sincerely,

Cuong
