how to run much phyton script with matlab

hei matlab users,

I need to run much phyton scripts to request some data from ECMWF database. I have write this scripts but when i run the first of them matlab waits its end while I want run all my scripts togheter: I need it because every requestes have to be elaborated and I obtain the data after much hours/days.

In this moment I have a crude solution:

% 1) run this line
k=0;
name_of_my_script=[name1, name2, name3, etc];
%% 

%2) run this section
k=k+1;
system(['python' name_of_my_script(k) '.py'])
%3)  Ctrl+C in the command window
%4) run the second section
%5)  Ctrl+C in the command window
%6) run the second section
%) etc.

You can alternatively create a temporary bash script using file operations (and - ofcourse - loops) of the following format:

python script1.py &
python script2.py &
python script3.py &
python script4.py &

That's the entire script. It will run the four Python scripts at the same time. The "&" shell operator tells each process to go into the background

Now use the system command to run this script inside the matlab script.

Dont forget to delete the temporary file.
