Matlab 2016a crashed by calling python function

OS: windows 10 64bit

Matlab: 2016a 64bit

Python: Enthought Python,

downloaded from https://store.enthought.com/downloads/#default

Everything is installed into the default folder

Matlab will quit without any warning by executing

py.help('eval')

when I was trying the example at http://au.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/call-python-eval-function.html

Could any one please suggest a solution? Many thanks, Kyle.

I just noticed that my comment is irrelevant, so I deleted it. I mistakenly read your OS as OS X. I just realized that you are actually using Windows 10.

Same with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated

System Configuration - Windows 7 64 bit. Matlab 2016a 64 bit,

Is there a file "pyvenv.cfg" in either of the following locations?

• c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\enthought\canopy\user\
• c:\users\<username>\appdata\local\enthought\canopy\user\scripts\

If there is, locate the line "home = [home path]" in the file. Then, use the "python.exe" executable found in [home path] to set the Python version within MATLAB:

>> pyversion [home path]\python.exe
