[SciPy-user] Help with FFT code

[Karthikesh Raju]

Hi All,

Regarding the saving and loading data part of this question, i was faced
with the dilema of shifting data between python and matlab. i have written
a small module dataloader.py (the latest version of which is at

http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/286171
)

dumpData takes a dictionary of variables and makes separate dat files in
ascii
format and saves them in these files. When all the keys are traversed, it
compresses all the files into an archive.

loadData does the reverse, it loads the data from a file to a dictionary.

i also have the equivalent matlab routines

loadData.m - when paseed a tar.gz file, it extracts the variable name and
loads it in the workspace

dumpData.m - when passed with variables in the workspace, it writes them
in ascii files and compresess them.

The both work quite well.

Side note: please let me know of methods to improve the python module.

Warm regards
karthik
