Version 1 of 1.
Mat files python.
You can get it done in one line of code.
Beginning at release 7 3 of matlab mat files are actually saved using the hdf5 format by default except if you use the vx flag at save time see in matlab.
And after that the loadmat is the way to go.
Save a dictionary of names and arrays into a matlab style mat file.
Reading them in is definitely the easy part.
Beginning at release 7 3 of matlab mat files are actually saved using the hdf5 format by default except if you use the vx flag at save time see help save in matlab.
From this version matlab started compressing the data.
Beginning at release 7 3 of matlab mat files are actually saved using the hdf5 format by default except if you use the vx flag at save time see help save in matlab.
In these versions matlab allowed storing a variety of structures like sparse arrays two dimensional double and extended its varied structure storage.
As for all objects in matlab structs are in fact arrays of structs where a single struct is an array of shape 1.
V4 level 1 0 v6 and v7 to 7 2 matfiles are supported.
These files can be read in python using for instance the pytables or h5py package.
Reading matlab structures in mat files does not seem supported at this point.

Scipy is a really popular python library used for scientific computing and quite naturally they have a method which lets you read in mat files.
These files can be read in python using for instance the pytables or h5py package.
Because scipy does not supply one we do not implement the hdf5 7 3 interface here.
These files can be read in python using for instance the pytables or h5py package.
You will need an hdf5 python library to read matlab 7 3 format mat files.
Matlab structs are a little bit like python dicts except the field names must be strings.
Any matlab object can be a value of a field.
Reading matlab structures in mat files does not seem supported at this point.
There are several versions of the mat files v 7 3 v7 v6 v4 a significant difference between each of the version is the way the data is stored inside them.
