Hi Colin,

Thanks for the reply. I've been using the GUI itself

Thanks,

Hmm.. I'm just a user in this case and am not sure what the issue is. I have octave 4.2.1 running on win10. Have python 3.6.2 and sympy installed, then installed symbolic package. All works fine. Colin, is python2 okay?

Python 2 should be fine.

Anoop: can use test within the Octave GUI?  How are you starting Octave?  I remember some strange issues from a long time ago, something about running octave.exe instead of using octave.bat.

Based on your detailed output (thanks!), python appears to be working correctly.  It looks like some kind of newline problem...  Considering the output before the error message:

A =
{
  [1,1] =
Communication established.

  [1,2] =
1.1.1

  [1,3] =
2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 07:43:08) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

}

Those are as they should be, except it looks like each string has a extraneous newline appended.  The "out" variable looks wrong too: on my system it has things like "<f>Communication established.</f>" but on Anoop's machine:

<item>
<f>
1003
</f>
<f>
Communication established.
</f>
</item>

My first reaction is no one has tested the combination of Windows and Python2.  But that seems unlikely; the wiki [1] explicitly mentions Python 2.

best,
