Hello everyone,

I have a similar question  
I have created one extension in Slicer and a second one using Matlab Bridge. How is the procedure to call the Matlab Bridge extension in my python code?

thanks a lot

You can call Matlab modules the same way as any other CLI modules, as described [here](https://www.slicer.org/wiki/Documentation/Nightly/Developers/Python_scripting#Running_a_CLI_from_Python).
