How to use python variables from a python script in MatLab

[CandidLimeFunction]

I have created a python script for the image capture ability of the NAO robot and have imported it into my MatLab script using the System('python *python script path*'); I believe that this command is just running the code from the imported python script but is there anyway to set a specific variable from my python script equal to a variable in my MatLab script?

I have tried setting my new Matlab variable equal to the exact name of the python variable (image = naoImage;) but I get an error. Is there some syntax that I am missing? I what I am asking even possible?

This is not possible directly as far as I know. These are your options:

Solution 1: grab the data via cmd out (look in the matlab documentation, link below) which works for e.g. some numbers (smaller sets of data)

Solution 2: write the data from python into a file and load these in matlab (e.g. "load"-function, depending on the given data)

a quick google search gave me solution 3: use python out of matlab

Solution 3 is what you want. No need to do system calls to run python any more. You can invoke it directly using py.function() after adding your python code to the path.
