title: Calling MATLAB functions from python
body: <p>Is it possible to run MATLAB functions from within Python?
  I search the internet, I could only find PyMat. The bad thing is the compiled version only supports Python2.2 and I am using 2.6. So I tried to download the source code, so I can compile it for myself. But I cannot compile it, VC++ express seems not to have the necessary functionalities to compile it. Does anyone have the compile version for PC?
  or any substitutes for PyMat?
  Thanks</p>
