Hello,
I am trying to use python on matlab. To load the python environment I am giving the python executable file to pyenv() command as follows:
pyenv(Version="/Users/raza/anaconda3/bin/python")
% Check if the current MATLAB working directory is in the Python path
if count(py.sys.path, pwd) == 0
insert(py.sys.path, int32(0), pwd);
end
It shows me the ouput with python environment but it doesn't recognize py command and shows error as follows:
ans =
PythonEnvironment with properties:
Version: "3.11"
Executable: "/Users/raza/anaconda3/bin/python"
Library: "/Users/raza/anaconda3/lib/libpython3.11.dylib"
Home: "/Users/raza/anaconda3"
Status: NotLoaded
ExecutionMode: InProcess
Unable to resolve the name 'py.sys.path'.
Could someone please guide me, is it due to the fact that python doesn't get loaded?
System info - macOS (venture 13.6) Apple M2 Pro
Matlab version - R2023b update 7

The error message indicates a failure in the call to sys.path. There are some hints on troubleshooting this type of failure at:

Thank you, the problem is when I do simply pyenv("python3") it works it gets loaded. However when I use specific python version installed through anaconda it doesn't get loaded, even though I tried different versions with separate conda environments.

In case you haven't done so already, the following could be worth checking:
  1. Do your anaconda Python builds match your MATLAB build? For information about this, specific to macOS with Apple Silicon, see: https://mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1977529-how-to-use-python-from-matlab-on-mac-with-apple-silicon
  2. Do you have the PYTHONHOME environment variable either unset or set to match the Python version of pyenv? For information about this, see the last paragraph of: https://mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/install-supported-python-implementation.html
  3. Is there anything in your setting for the PATH environment variable that could be creating conflicts?
