HDF5 data set, unable to read contents

[varun7rs at gmail.com]

Hello everyone,

I recently came across a package called matrix2latex which simplifies the creation of very large tables. So, I saved my data in .mat format using the '-v7.3' extension so that they can be read by python.

Now, when I try to read these files, I'm having some problems in reproducing the whole matrix. Whenever I try and print out an element of the array, I only get 'HDF5 object reference' as the output. This is basically the short code I wrote and what I basically want to do is have the values of the elements in the arrays and not the 'HDF5 object reference' thing. ex [ [ 1 2 3 4 ], [2 3 4 5 ]...]

Could you please help me with this? The link to the .mat file is as below

import numpy as np, h5py
from matrix2latex import matrix2latex

f = h5py.File('nominal_case_unfix.mat', 'r')
data = f.get('nominal_case_unfix')
np_data = np.array(data)
print np_data



Thank You
