Why does Python 3.6 fail to import MATLAB Engine and give a “DLL load failed” error?
I am using MATLAB R2018a. I have installed CPython 3.6.7 and installed MATLAB engine as mentioned in the documentation page obtained by running the following command on MATLAB R2018a:
web(fullfile(docroot, ‘matlab/matlab_external/install-the-matlab-engine-for-python.html’))
But I am getting the below error on executing "
import matlab.engine":
pythonengine = importlib.import_module("matlabengineforpython"+_PYTHONVERSION)

_init__.py", line 126, in import_module
