Import matrix as mat python.
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.
Another very popular option in importing data in python must go to pandas especially when the data size is big like several hundred mbs we won t delve into the specifics of how pandas works or how to use it.
Save a python data structure to a mat file.
Load filename loads data from filename.
Reading them in is definitely the easy part.
Dictionary with variable names as keys and loaded matrices as values.
If filename is a mat file then load filename loads variables in the mat file into the matlab workspace.

Python data can be saved to a mat file with the function savemat data has to be structured in the same way as for loadmat i e.
Any matlab object can be a value of a field.
V4 level 1 0 v6 and v7 to 7 2 matfiles are supported.
Matlab structs are a little bit like python dicts except the field names must be strings.
Because scipy does not supply one we do not implement the hdf5 7 3 interface here.
