How can receive UDP data from Python UDP client in MatLab/Simulink support package for Raspberry Pi

Hi I programmed UDP client in python. This is the code.

import socket
import sys
# Create a UDP socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM)
server_address = ('localhost', 10000)
x=0.4
message = str(x)
try:
      # Send data
      print >>sys.stderr, 'sending "%s"' % message
      sent = sock.sendto(message, server_address)
      # Receive response
      print >>sys.stderr, 'waiting to receive'
      data, server = sock.recvfrom(4096)
      print >>sys.stderr, 'received "%s"' % data
finally:
    print >>sys.stderr, 'closing socket'
    sock.close()

Now I would like to receive that data in my MatLab/Simulink block. I have done some research, and what found is that Instrument Control Toolbox can be use UDP object to get the data. Or go to the File Exchange and grabbed the Simple UDP Communications App code. It is just one function, judp, that allows me to send and receive UDP packets.

Is this going to work with my python UDP client? Is there any other solution?

Thanks
