How to run .m file in python?

I have a .m code what I want to run in python. Is it any easy way? 1. this code is not a function. 2. don't want to show the matlab window.

This is not a big deal. The python code looks like:

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
eng.simple_script(nargout=0)
eng.quit()

The Matlab script would be perhaps this one line saved as simple_script.m:

a = 'it works easily...'

Make sure that the script is saved in a folder matlab knows as a search folder.

Then run your python script and get the answer:

a =
    'it works easily...'

It is not necessary that you have a function in your .m-file, but possible. See more information here.

The Matlab screen is not visible by default, so you should be happy if you follow this and the linked information...
