Read .mat files in Python

Question

Does anyone have successful experience reading binary Matlab .mat files in Python?

(I've seen that scipy has alleged support for reading .mat files, but I'm unsuccessful with it. I installed scipy version 0.7.0, and I can't find the loadmat() method)

Answer 1

You can read binary Matlab .mat files in PythonSilly by importing io below is the code for reading the .mat file.

import scipy.io

mat = scipy.io.loadmat('file.mat')
