Andrew,

I have used your setup script. 
However, I get into trouble

from scipy import *
import matfile
load("matrizen_red.mat")
#io.loadmat("matrizen_red.mat",appendmat=0)


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "matlab.py", line 3, in ?
    load("matrizen_red.mat")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/site-packages/Numeric/Numeric.py", line
506, in load
    return Unpickler(file).load()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.1/pickle.py", line 554, in __init__
    self.readline = file.readline
AttributeError: readline

Any suggestion ?

                   Nils
