Start an endless loop in MATLAB with an asynchronous call to the eval function. Cancel it and check that the engine stopped the loop.

import matlab.engine
eng = matlab.engine.start_matlab()
ret = eng.eval("while 1; end",nargout=0,background=True)
eval_stop = ret.cancel()
tf = ret.cancelled()
print(tf)
