How to install Matlab Engine on Python 3.6

Preparation

If you’ve tried recently to install matlab engine on a Python 3.6, you’ve seen a message saying that the platform is not supported. That doesn’t make any sense, since Python 3.5 is supported, right?

The problem is that Mathworks hardcodes a list with valid versions, I guess to reduce pressure on their customer service in case something goes wrong with untested versions. Well, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be allowed to try it anyway, right?
