Python中要想調用MATLAB的功能，需要安裝matlab.engine，此工具在matlab的安裝目錄下，比如：
C:\Users\admin>cd C:\apps\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\engines\python
C:\apps\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\engines\python>
可以通過執行setup.py腳本進行安裝：
C:\apps\MATLAB\R2019a\extern\engines\python>python setup.py install

一、執行matlab腳本文件：
在Idea中的Python項目下新建文件夾，並建立learn.py和triarea.m:
triarea.m的文件內容如下：
b = 5;
h = 3;
a = 0.5*(b.* h)
然後就可以在learn.py中執行該腳本：
import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
eng.triarea(nargout=0)
輸出如下：
C:\apps\Python\Python37\python.exe -B D:/workspace/Idea/Python/python/main/learn/matlab/learn.py
a =
7.5000
Process finished with exit code 0
二、執行matlab方法。
triarea中添加方法：
function a = triarea(b, h)
a = 0.5 * (b.* h);
learn.py內容如下：
import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
ret = eng.triarea(1.0, 5.0)
print(ret)
輸出如下：
C:\apps\Python\Python37\python.exe -B D:/workspace/Idea/Python/python/main/learn/matlab/learn.py
2.5
Process finished with exit code 0
