I am getting the same error. It flashes quickly then goes away, but I was able to get a screenshot.

I'm using Python 3.10, Matlab 2023a, and matlabengine 9.14.2, with VS Code extension MATLAB 1.0.1 from MathWorks.

I am able to run the Matlab Engine getting started example without errors.

$ python
Python 3.10.11 (main, Apr  5 2023, 14:15:10) [GCC 9.4.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matlab.engine
>>> eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
>>> eng.sqrt(4.0)
2.0
>>> eng.quit()
>>>

hello,I am not sure if you have downloaded "matlabengine" correctly, if not, you can install it by >cd "matlabroot\extern\engines\python",>python -m pip install . I have solved the problem by installing this module with two lines of command.

Were you able to solve this?
I am getting the same error:

As @jhcole mentioned, I followed all the instructions from Matlab to install the Matlab Engine for Python; but I had to do it in non-default folders, so I followed these other instructions and added the installation path to the $PYTHONPATH environment variable.

After doing that, I was able to open and run Matlab stuff from Python, but I still had the same error when trying to open a Matlab terminal...

I am running:

• Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS
• Python 3.8.10
• Matlab 9.11.0.1837725 (R2021b) Update 2

Ensure your MATLAB is in your PATH, your Python is less than or equal version 3.11. We've encountered this when one of this wasn't the case.
