Getting I18N Runtime Warning

I am using Pymat (32bit) to control Matlab 2013a (32bit) on Windows 7 (64bit). On one machine I encounter the following error:

I18N Runtime Warning:

          Missing ICU data file detected while processing directory containing 
  libut.{dll|so|sl|dylib}.

          Hint: Check for a misconfigured environment or installation.

I18N Runtime Warning:

          Misconfigured ICU_DATA directory path.

          Hint: Check for a misconfigured environment or installation.

Locale of Matlab and Systems match. What can I do to fix this issue?

pymat seemed to be compiled against an older Matlab Version. Just pointed that paths in the setup.py to my Matlab Installation, installed VS 2008 and created a new pymat installer. Everything works fine now.

Look for the following variables in setup.py and point them to your matlab installation

    matlab_dir ='C:\Program Files (x86)\MATLAB\R2013b'
    matlab_plat = 'win32\microsoft'

Create installer with:

    python setup.py bdist_wininst

From R2014b, MATLAB Engine for Python provides a package for Python to call MATLAB as a computational engine:
