Trying to call MATLAB scripts from Python

Question

I'm trying to integrate Python and MATLAB, I wanna call my .m script from my python environment.

I read the documentation and understood that this could be done like this:

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
eng.MyScript(nargout=0)

I've shared a session from matlab with: matlab.engine.shareEngine before trying these commands in python.

I can't seem to get it to work for some reason, I don't get any output in my python environment, all I get is a sound that sounds like matlab's error sound.

Any ideas why it doesn't work?
