Communication between Python and Matlab

Question

I have some computer vision system that works in Matlab. When it detects something I want to tell Python that it found it. Just yes or no without any additional information, but the system works in infinite loop, so I want Python constantly track Matlab somehow.

I wonder what is the easiest way to do this.

For example, Matlab can create a file on a desktop that Python will see and trigger according functionality.

Answer 1

If you need constant and fast communication I'd suggest you make your Python application listen on a specific port and connect to that port from MATLAB. You can then exchange information in both directions.
