The goal of the project is to have a function that will replace sio loadmat in scripts and work with both unicode and hdf5 mat files.
Mat file h5py.

For example you can slice into multi terabyte datasets stored on disk as if they were real numpy arrays.
Read svhn dataset mat version 7 3 files using h5py and numpy read svhn mat py.
Hdf5 hierarchical data format 5 hdf5 lets you store huge amounts of numerical data and easily.
Matlab mat file tools a python tool set to read data from matlab mat files using scipy io and h5py also requires numpy.
Python provides h5py package it provides reading and writing of files with mat extension.
Instantly share code notes and snippets.
I m using a program that works with hdf5 but i get my teacher s files in mat and i need to convert them using matlab.

Reading matlab structures in mat files does not seem supported at this point.
It lets you store huge amounts of numerical data and easily manipulate that data from numpy.
Convert between mat and h5.
These files can be read in python using for instance the pytables or h5py package.
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.

Datasets which are array like collections of data and groups which are folder like containers that hold datasets and other groups the most fundamental thing to remember when using h5py is.
In addition to the file specific capabilities listed here every file instance is also an hdf5 group representing the root group of the file.
An hdf5 file is a container for two kinds of objects.
File objects serve as your entry point into the world of hdf5.
