Hi Renish,
I have to correct Patrick here, pyarts has been revived and is now the official Python interface for ARTS. To use the Python interface you have two options: 1. Build the ARTS development version and the install the pyarts package in the python directory 2. Install pyarts using pip Option 1 has the advantage of installing also the ARTS interpreter itself, i.e. the arts command line program as well as the example files, which could help you to get started. With option two you will be able to use ARTS only through the Python interface. Hope this helps to get you started. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any other questions.

In python you have access to a proper interface to ARTS, and you can run it truly interactively. And you can get more help. I am the only one of the core developers that still is using matlab. It is then Typhon ypu should look at. Not PyARTS, it's old.
