A tool to convert MATLAB code to Python [closed]

People also ask

Can MATLAB generate Python code?

You can add MATLAB files to the project to generate sample Python driver files. Although Python driver files are not necessary to create a package, you can use them to implement a Python application, as shown in Install and Run MATLAB Generated Python Application.

Is Python faster than MATLAB?

Matlab is faster than Python, but Python is better at running multiple jobs in parallel.


There are several tools for converting Matlab to Python code.

The only one that's seen recent activity (last commit from June 2018) is Small Matlab to Python compiler (also developed here: SMOP@chiselapp).

Other options include:

  • LiberMate: translate from Matlab to Python and SciPy (Requires Python 2, last update 4 years ago).
  • OMPC: Matlab to Python (a bit outdated).
  • Mat2py: Matlab to Python (Requires Python 2).

Also, for those interested in an interface between the two languages and not conversion:

  • pymatlab: communicate from Python by sending data to the MATLAB workspace, operating on them with scripts and pulling back the resulting data.
  • Python-Matlab wormholes: both directions of interaction supported.
  • Python-Matlab bridge: use Matlab from within Python, offers matlab_magic for iPython, to execute normal matlab code from within ipython.
  • PyMat: Control Matlab session from Python.
  • pymat2: continuation of the seemingly abandoned PyMat.
  • mlabwrap, mlabwrap-purepy: make Matlab look like Python library (based on PyMat).
  • oct2py (repository): run GNU Octave commands from within Python.
  • pymex: Embeds the Python Interpreter in Matlab, also on File Exchange.
  • matpy: Access MATLAB in various ways: create variables, access .mat files, direct interface to MATLAB engine (requires MATLAB be installed).
  • MatPy: Python package for numerical linear algebra and plotting with a MatLab-like interface.

Btw might be helpful to look here for other migration tips:

On a different note, for people who might find it useful there is:

  • matlab2fortran

There's also oct2py which can call .m files within python

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/oct2py

It requires GNU Octave, which is highly compatible with MATLAB.
