Matlab called python Theano Module Wrong

[VeritasYin]

Hi! Recently, we tried to reproduce the experiment, but at the visualization part (script_viz_policy.m) has to use MATLAB call python code (vin.py). In this part, the code imports theano module (which I have already installed). But it reported an err:
Undefined variable "py" or class "py.vin.vin".

Error in script_viz_policy (line 3)
tmp = py.vin.vin; clear tmp; % to load Python

And I followed instruction of Matlab Online Help, used command py.importlib.import_module('vin') for test, and still reported an err:

Error using theano_utils> (line 3)
Python Error: ImportError: No module named theano

Error in vin> (line 3)
from theano_utils import *

Error in init>import_module (line 37)
import(name)

But I can import theano in python,

import theano
import theano.tensor as T
theano.test()
Theano version 0.8.2
theano is installed in //anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/theano
NumPy version 1.11.1
NumPy relaxed strides checking option: False
NumPy is installed in //anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/numpy
Python version 2.7.12 |Anaconda 4.2.0 (x86_64)| (default, Jul 2 2016, 17:43:17) [GCC 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2336.11.00)]
nose version 1.3.7

I couldn't figure out where is the problem. Thank you in advance!

Hi, Looks like a path problem. First of all - what Matlab version do you have, and can you import other (not VIN) python packages? Second - can you try following the advice on this page: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/undefined-variable-py-or-function-py-command.html#buiebj2-71 to fix the python path error (seems like you need to add the path to theano)? Let me know if this works. Best, Aviv

Hi, Aviv!

It still doesn't work on Matlab R2016b.

I followed the instruction of Matlab documents, added the path into python.

P = py.sys.path;
P

P =

Python list with no properties.

['/Users/veritas/Desktop/vin', '/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/theano', '', '/usr/lib/python27.zip', '/usr/lib/python2.7', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-darwin', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-mac', '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-mac/lib-scriptpackages', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload', '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python', '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/PyObjC']

I can import my own python file like mymod.py and module like numpy with no problems,

py.importlib.import_module('mymod')

ans =

Python module with properties:

theend: [1×1 py.function]
search: [1×1 py.function]

<module 'mymod' from 'mymod.pyc'>

py.importlib.import_module('numpy')

ans =

Python module with properties:

                 loadtxt: [1×1 py.function]
              reciprocal: [1×1 py.numpy.ufunc]

......

But if I want to import theano or vin.py, it reported errors:

py.importlib.import_module('theano')
Error using init>import_module (line 37)
Python Error: ImportError: No module named theano

py.importlib.import_module('vin')
Error using theano_utils> (line 3)
Python Error: ImportError: No module named theano

Error in vin> (line 3)
from theano_utils import *

Error in init>import_module (line 37)
import(name)

And also, the path for theano is a dictionary, maybe this method only works for a file (Matlab tries to find a file named theano.py?) rather a dictionary. But still, numpy is also a dic, so I am confused.

Many thanks,
veritas

I am having a similar problem. is your problem solved?
