Estou tentando instalarMatlab Engine for Python no CentOS 7 para Matlab R2016a usando anaconda python 3.4.

Eu executei os seguintes comandos:

source activate py34 # Default is python 3.5
python setup.py install

A saída é:

running install
running build
running build_py

De alguma forma, instala o mecanismo matlab na versão python do sistema, diferente da do anacondapy34 ambiente virtual. Percebiesta no OSX e funciona no meu mac! Alguém pode ajudar com isso no CentOS?
