Hi @Ashwin Krishnakumar,

Kindly post the reproduction steps or the script so that I can reproduce the error on my end.

Generally 'ModuleNotFoundError' occurs when module is not found in the directory.

One way to potentially resolve this issue is to point the "PYTHONPATH" environment variable to the directory containing the install of MATLAB Engine.

You can use the following troubleshooting steps as mentioned in the documentation:

Hope this helps!
