[SciPy-dev] Saving in MATLAB Level 5 MAT-File Format

[Lars Voxen Hansen]

I need to save in Matlab Level 5 MAT-File Format. The reson is that  
level 4 only support matrices (2d arrays), I also need to save some  
3d arrays and load them into matlab.

I have modified mio5.py in ./scipy/io such that this is posible now  
(see example below). The modified file mio5.py is attached to this  
mail. I have tested this on windows XP and mac OS X, where it works  
for me.

Is it posible that this modification can be included in scipy?

Best Regards and thanks for developing scipy

example:
----------------

import numpy as N
from scipy import io

A = N.ones((10,20,30))
f = open('test.mat','wb')
MW = io.mio5.MatFile5Writer(f,do_compression=True,unicode_strings=True)
MW.put_variables({'A1':A,'A2':A+1j*A,'s1':'string1','s2':u'string2'})
f.close()

d = io.load('test.mat','rb')
