Calling user matlab functions from Python

I have 4 user created matlab functions "aaa.m, bbb.m, ccc.m and ddd.m" which are stored in a dictionary(dict) as values against keys.

eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
eng.addpath(Path)
for key in dict.keys()
    matlabFileName = dict[key]
    eng.matlabFileName(nargout=0)
eng.quit()

The above code gives the error "matlab.engine.MatlabExecutionError: Undefined function or variable 'matlabFileName'

How do i call a function from matlab engine when the function name is a VARIABLE.

Please help.

You can try the eval function instead.

By the way i am using python

Yes you can use the eval like

eng.eval(matlabFileName , nargout = 0)

Another option is described at the following link

Apologies for marking it urgent. New to python and matlab and have a delivery by tomorrow.

@Mohammad Sami, eval worked perfectly. Thank you.
