How to run this on Windows?

It seems this package doesn't run on windows?

Wow this is prompt reply!

From what I see, only slight changes are necessary for the bridge to work on windows. Here are the error messages:

from pymatbridge import Matlab
mlab=Matlab(matlab='/Applications/MATLAB_R2011b.app/bin/matlab')
mlab.start()

This is quite obvious, because in windows the file structure is different, and Matlab does not locate in '/Applications/MATLAB_R2011b.app/bin/matlab'.

The good thing is, I can manually start the web server using the .m file in the package. Then using mlab.running I get a True return. So, basically both Python and Matlab are working (independent of platform), while the only problem is a new bridge code for windows.

Actually I like this idea of using Matlab as a webserver. I am using a package of the same spirit. Good luck!

Has development on this stopped? Is there a better solution now for running MATLAB once and making multiple calls from python? I too need a windows solution.
