According to the matlab reference manual, you can use '!' to execute
system commands; if you're on a UNIX system, you'll be able to call

  unix('command')

and be able to get the errorlevel code when the script finishes.  You
should be able to use both approaches to call anything, including python
programs.

However, since I don't have matlab, I have no idea if this works.  *grin*

Take a look here for details:

The unix() command:

The exclamation mark syntax:
