failed to start matlab session from a certain location

[verenamueller]

hey there,
I want to start a certain Matlab version cause I just have licence for R2010b but also installed R2013b on my device. So when I start the session with the default command -mlab=Matlab()- it wants to start R2013b, but without licenc I can't use it. And when I try - mlab=Matlab(executable='C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b\bin\matlab.exe') - the Server starts but nothing happens!

Starting MATLAB on ZMQ socket tcp://127.0.0.1:58782
Send 'exit' command to kill the server
............................................................MATLAB session timed out after 60 seconds
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in
mlab.start()
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\pymatbridge-0.6.dev0-py3.4.egg\pymatbridge\pymatbridge.py", line 227, in start
raise ValueError("%s failed to start" % self._program_name())
ValueError: MATLAB failed to start

I use Windows 7 x64-based PC - python 3.4 - pyzmq 14.7.0

Thanks in advance,
Verena

Have you tried escaping the backslashes, e.g.

'C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\R2010b\\bin\\matlab.exe'

Maybe the space too, not sure if it matters in this case.

Yes, I tried. But it doesn't helped either. Does this command work on Windows anyway?

pymatbridge does work with Windows, but setup varies from computer to
computer and it is hard for us to cover all the uses.

We should be doing a release soon, and this might resolve your issues.
