## The goal
We want to integrate Python files and code into our Matlab workflow.
Questions to [David Rotermund](mailto:davrot@uni-bremen.de)
## Check if you are ready
[Versions of Python Compatible with MATLAB Products by Release](https://de.mathworks.com/support/requirements/python-compatibility.html)
You need to ask yourself or better Matlab if it is using the correct Python. You can check this via:
```matlab
>> pyenv
ans =
PythonEnvironment with properties:
Version: "3.11"
Executable: "/data_1/davrot/P3.11/bin/python3"
Library: "libpython3.11.so.1.0"
Home: "/data_1/davrot/P3.11"
Status: NotLoaded
ExecutionMode: InProcess
```
If this is wrong (which it isn't in my case) then you can change it (temporarily?) with
```matlab
>> pyenv('Version','/data_1/davrot/P3.11/bin/python3')
ans =
PythonEnvironment with properties:
Version: "3.11"
Executable: "/data_1/davrot/P3.11/bin/python3"
Library: "libpython3.11.so.1.0"
Home: "/data_1/davrot/P3.11"
Status: NotLoaded
ExecutionMode: InProcess
```
**Obviously you need to use your location for your Python installation.**
## Python help
```matlab
>> py.help('int')
Help on class int in module builtins:
class int(object)
| int([x]) -> integer
| int(x, base=10) -> integer
[...]
```
## Tuple and random number example
We can crate a python tuple like this:
```matlab
>> py_dim = py.tuple({py.int(10), py.int(100)})
py_dim =
Python tuple with values:
(10, 100)
Use string, double or cell function to convert to a MATLAB array.
```
Now we can use numpy to generate random numbers:
```matlab
>> py_dim = py.tuple({py.int(10), py.int(100)})
>> rng = py.numpy.random.default_rng();
>> a = rng.random(py_dim);
>> py.print(py.type(a))
<class 'numpy.ndarray'>
>> py.print(a.shape)
(10, 100)
>> py.print(a.dtype)
float64
>> whos
>> whos
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
a 1x1 8 py.numpy.ndarray
ans 1x1 8 matlab.pyclient.PythonEnvironment
py_dim 1x2 8 py.tuple
rng 1x1 8 py.numpy.random._generator.Generator
```
Alternatively this is also possible:
```matlab
>> b = rng.random(cell({int32(10),int32(100)}));
```
## User defined Python modules
Our very own Python function in the file **mtest_1.py**:
```python
import numpy as np
def mysquared(input:np.ndarray) -> np.ndarray:
output = input**2
return output
```
Now Matlab allows us to do this:
```matlab
>> x = (1:1:10);
>> x_np = py.numpy.array(x);
>> y_np = py.mtest_1.mysquared(x_np);
>> y = double(x_np).^2;
>> sum(sum(abs(y-double(y_np))))
ans =
0
```
If you change the py file, then you need to clean it from the memory via
```matlab
>> clear classes
```
Future David here: Well, I had to do this for a file gauss_smear.py with a function gauss_smear:
```matlab
if ~exist('mod', 'var')
mod = py.importlib.import_module('gauss_smear');
end
py.importlib.reload(mod);
clearvars -except mod
mod.gauss_smear(2.0, 0.1)
```
## Save a numpy file with Matlab
In Matlab we save data into numpy file:
```matlab
>> a = rand(100,10);
>> a_np = py.numpy.array(a);
>> py.numpy.save("test_1.npy",a_np);
```
Now we can load it into Python:
```python
import numpy as np
a = np.load("test_1.npy")
print(type(a)) # --> <class 'numpy.ndarray'>
print(a.shape) # --> (100, 10)
print(a.dtype) # --> float64
```
## Loading a numpy file with Matlab
Under Python we generate a file:
```python
import numpy as np
myrng = np.random.default_rng()
a = myrng.random((100, 10))
np.save("test_2.npy", a)
```
And under Matlab we load it:
```matlab
>> a_np = py.numpy.load("test_2.npy");
>> a = double(a_np);
>> whos
Name Size Bytes Class Attributes
a 100x10 8000 double
a_np 1x1 8 py.numpy.ndarray
```
