Matlab Returns Exit Code Immediately

I am creating various matlab .m-files with python and then run them using subprocess. When the files are finished I would like to delete them: command = ['C:\\MatlabR2012b\\bin

Solution 1:

On Windows, there is both bin\matlab.exe and bin\win32\matlab.exe (or bin\win64\matlab.exe). The former is just a wrapper around the latter and pretty much exits immediately.

You can either call bin\win32\matlab.exe directly or use the -wait option when calling bin\matlab.exe.
