I'd like to check out matlab engine for Python. I installed it according to the directions here. But just the line
import matlab.engine
causes my program to quit with exit code 139, which I understand is some kind of memory fault. I'm running Python 2.7.10 (the Anaconda 2.3.0 distribution), Matlab 2014b, MacOS 10.10, x86_64.
Edit: Here is the stack trace.

Edit 2: I'm not sure which kind of trace is more helpful, but I also tried generating a trace with the trace_calls function defined here. These were the last few lines of that:
Call to dirname on line 120 of /Users/katherine/anaconda/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py from line 38 of /Users/katherine/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matlab/engine/__init__.py

Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks very much for any help you can provide.
